Everyone remember, the quorum vote is not the final vote, it is a vote to move the bill to a vote. Even if the quorum passes, it may still have a chance of being killed.

Okay, I’ll bite. I’ve seen that post for several days now, and I have no idea what you mean. Please explain.

I wish that was true, but it's unlikely. It takes 50% to pass a bill. It takes 60% to end debate. If the Dark Side wins the vote to end debate, they win the vote to end captialism.

This quorum call may find that there is no quorum. Didn’t Harry Reid just say to McCain “Before you leave, I’d like to give you a compliment...”

Made me wonder if many Senators have left. Of course, he might have just been going to the bathroom. I know how that is.

Not a Chinaman's Chance, not with this congress...all we can hope for is Republican solidarity so that blame can be cast, later, where it's due.

I know, but that seems a slim hope.

Its a procedure in congress, There has to be agreement to bring something to a yes or no vote, That is called the Quorum. It dates back to the Roman Senate I believe.
