3. What Good Will That Do? |
|
Why filibuster something that can't even get enough support for a procedural vote?

8. It is kind of a filibuster |
|
The Democrats are preventing the Senate from moving to full consideration of the FMA because if they do there will be tons of amendments to the FMA and the Senate will be debating constitutional issues for the next two weeks instead of getting work done. The Democrats were willing to allow a final vote, but only if amendments weren't permitted.
