Lots of shit happens between now and then.
1. Bills go to committee 2. They get tossed back and forth for a bit, 90% die in committee. 3. Bills that pass committee have to be brought to the floor by the speaker of the house and majority leader. Bills can just die here as well. 4. Bills are then added to a calendar 5. Shit goes up for vote. 6. Dudes debate more on the floor to change hearts and minds. 7. Bills that pass go up to the Senate. Same shit happens. 8. Crap that passes the Senate then goes up to Obummer 9. He can veto bills or sign them in to law. 10. Last step: MERICA |

Well, it starts tomorrow! I have a link below that references Senate Resolution 4, 5, 6 & 7. While I am not a lawyer, it appears to me that these resolutions have the ability to change the rules of the Senate as it relates to the Filibuster. One of the resolutions changes the number of votes to stop a Filibuster from 60 to 51. This would seem to be very bad for our side if we need to stop some part of current legislation. Please read these carefully and then call your Senators!
RESOLUTIONS AND MOTIONS OVER, UNDER THE RULE Click Here This link opens on a blank page number 17, the info is on page 18, so scroll down to find it. The vote on these Rule Changes is set for tomorrow. Link to Senate Rules Committee Link to Rules Committee Members Click on the links below then scroll down and click on "TEXT OF LEGISLATION" Link for Senate Resolution S.R.4 Link to S.R5 Link to S.R.6 Link to S.R.7 Here is a little more information for you. It appears as though S.R. 5, 6 & 7 are wrapped into one package for the senate to vote on as a group. Unless I am reading this incorrectly it is called S15. Link to S15 So, my take on this is to VOTE AGAINST S15 If I am wrong about this please correct me. |
