What makes people think that the bill won't pass in the senate?

Bourbon, brownest of the brown liquours. Wonderful, but I prefer scotch. Something about drinking something that is older than me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm not entirely convinced it won't, but arguments for why it won't are essentially:

- Time left in Congressional legislative schedule
- Odds that one Senator (or a small group, likely from Nevada) will object and slow/hold up the process

so, have they voted yet or what? What's going on?

Poison pill amendment went down ~300-115 give/take

Edit - Motion to recommit
Procedural hurdle

So what happens if time "runs out" in the congressional legislative schedule? Does the legislation die then, or is debate and vote in the senate postponed?

so on to the senate next?

no the actual bill hasn't been passed yet. the ammendment to the bill was just voted down

killa4s · #**319** 07-11-2006, 02:46 PM

Conyers moves to prevent underage kids from gambling on the internet. How his ammendment will do that - who knows. Says current bill has a "loop-hole" [No kidding!]

Berge20 · #**320** 07-11-2006, 02:47 PM

There will be a vote on the Conyers motion to recommit which is a common procedural motion to essentially send the bill back to committee (it will kill the bill probably)

Expect it to be voted down handily.

Then we will finally have final passage vote on HR 4411
