making some half-assed deal that's little more than a capitulation. Hear that, Harry Reid? Go down, if you must, but for heaven's sake, go down fighting! Better bloodied than a doormat.

beginning of the voting after midnight, that mean the filibuster worked, but GOPers will lie and distort alongwith the corporate media but at least it will block the eff up bill for a period of time and maybe go to court, and GOD forbid it makes it to the US Supreme court - phew
