A veto over-ride would be terrific! And so early in this Congress, it is a good precedent.
Why didn’t they do this on Obamacare?
No one has hurt the Dem party more than Obama. And these Senators are really on their own. There is no benefit to them for being an Obama loyalist...not at this point.
Put away all hope for this. Not because the GOP can’t, but because they won’t. Why? Because it would be good for the country and their power comes through crisis. You’ll see that I’m right. Because they’ve showed me who they are.
A veto override would put some life back into our Republic and would permanently cut the legs off beneath the America-hating, capitalism-hating lame duck Marxist president. Go, Manchin, GO!!
Wasn’t the original Keystone vote one short of 60? And the last congress was 45 R. So 59-45 = 14 Ds voted for Keystone last time.
Now they need 67-54 = 13 D votes to override. So it should be doable.
Or is my math wrong here?
Manchin must be a very lonely man in Washington.
I surmise the petulant POS in the WH will retaliate against the American people in the most painful way possible if he gets over ridden on his veto
I doubt there will even be a vote. Most everything will still die in the Senate because the Dems will stick together on cloture votes.
I was shocked that one of our DE Senators voted for the pipeline in Dec.—Tom Carper.
Our other Senator, Chris Coons-D-Braindead, did not.
Coons was the smiling idiot grinning like a Cheshire cat when Biden was manhandling his young daughter during the Senate swearing in ceremony the other day.
Has the House voted yet? Interesting to see how many RATs vote for it..
Would be very very very nice to see.
Let’s be real, though: the moment that glorious moment happens, if it does...the EPA will release a torrent of regulations and punishments on the states and businesses that will be instrumental in building the pipeline.
Why?
Because the LAW MEANS NOTHING TO THE FASCISTS ON THE LEFT. In fact, it means less than nothing.
Let’s see them override the filibuster first.
Well then DO IT.
Shut up and just DO IT, Joe.
Pretty sad when a Democrat is more willing to oppose Obola than the R’s...
Can’t the Speaker and the Senate Majority Leader just DEEM IT OVERRIDDEN?? It worked for Obamacare!
BTTT
