ok this is what they said
But even death to a bill by the deadline could lurch back to life like the villain in a scarey movie, if the right deal is struck. Any bill can be revived at any time if it is deemed necessary to implememnt the budget.{I cannot see how the id card would implement the budget} Dead bills could also be reincarnated as amendments to related measures

All my bills are dead but my hopes are still alive, said senate minority leader Lisa Brown, D Spokane

On the other hand many bills that survived the cutoff deadline may look alive, but they are really dead bills walking because there is no chance the other chamber will pass them.

One example is the senate R bill to freeze the minimum wage during periods of high unemployment-fated for deep freeze in the house. Like wise the house D plan to authorize prescripton drugs purchases from Canada will meet a silent and swift death in the Senate.

These are not my words, they are the reportors. lol

you're probably right. It seems more 'elected-official-like'that they could what they want, when they want by bringing dead bills back to life or visa-versa.

I turned the radio on during the middle of the program and I only heard a couple of minutes

The illegal bill got about 15 seconds at the end of Carlson's interview with Finkbeiner, when Carlson brought it up himself. The bill has moved on to the senate. At first Finkbeiner said he didn't think it would pass, but then he said well, it hasn't had any hearings yet, don't know. So, it's up to us to call and write. Don't know if you heard the beginning of the show, but Finkbeiner praised Carlson listeners for getting another piece of legislation killed by calling their senators in Olympia. So if it can be done once we can do it again if enough people call or write.
