any hope that the addition to the port security bill will be voted down?...or are we just going to have to deal with the fact that it is there and hope the language isn't that harsh and work around it.

The only real chance if it doesn't come to a vote because of other things. Seems like a long shot.

Even if the Senate doesn't vote on it tonight, isn't there a pretty good chance they will pass it in the lame duck session? It only seems like a matter of "when," not "if" it's going to pass at this point. I hope I'm wrong.

Hmm, I doubt that. The democrats aren't too happy with things in there and if they win big in the elections I doubt they'd pass this versio nin the lame duck session. That was part of the reason for the Republicans pushing so hard today.

Or at least thats the way I understood it.

Good point. I didn't think about that. Where's Mr. Smith when you need him?????
