Re: How Many Senators Would Have Voted Otherwise?
Actually, they did attempt to get this bill passed alone. No, it wasn't "official", the senate won't bring a bill to vote if they don't already think it stands a chance of passing. There is an underground, unorganized system that exists to gather the opinions of every senator to determine, roughly, the overall chances of a bill passing if brought to vote. Briefly, if you do your research (I'm not going to lay references here, and I apologize, but this is over many months of follwing the news from various outlets), you will see that this bill, alone, would NOT have passed by itself if it made to senate.
I am actually disappointed in Mr. Sklansky's "from the guy" opinion. However, I've sure most of his gutshot decisions make up for this one over the years. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
