But we already expected it ...

2. 60 votes in the Senate are only necessary to stop a fillibuster. Bills pass with a simple majority.

Republicans are not going to oppose this bill. I doubt they can get 41 Democrats to stop if from coming up for a vote. The real questions I see is whether it gets 66 votes, enough to over ride a Presidential Veto.

4. Here is a link to the text of the Bill HR5682

It makes for interesting reading and I am hearing it is a non-binding vote but am still looking for more detail on that aspect.

6. Allow me to repeat

The fools! Little do they know they're playing right into our hands.

If only they knew how to read, they would know of our plan and they would know not to pass it, instead, they fall right into our trap.

The complete and utterly idiotic fools, there is no way to stop us now! Our plan is perfect, and they are left with such pitiful desperation!

7. That is considerably short of a veto override
