Re: Interesting ... potential DoD bill clusterfu*k

We have jobs, you know.
As far as unanimous consent, they tried it, and there were "holds" on the bill. If you don't know what these are, use the search function -- lots of good discussion about them in July/August. Point is, Frist & Co. probably do not have the ability to move the bill via UC even after their deal with the horse tracks. I don't know who has the holds, but they seem to be out there, as UC would be the natural choice for Frist to move this sucker, but still he hasn't done it.

So while it wouldn't necessarily be "easy" to get it to the floor by itself, it isn't far from possible at this stage in the session?
If that's true then it's a good indication that this wouldn't pass by UC. All the more reason to draw attn. to Frist's attempts all across the board.
