I wasn't able to listen to the specifics either, but I did hear Specter say that if it passed it would essentially gut the entire bill. There are good and intelligent people on both sides of this issue so most of the debate I have seen has been good and enlightening.
The vote was to table Cornyn's bill...and that did pass...so I guess Specter is happy..
Cornyns amendment was to NOT use the Fund system...but let the people use the courts..but with very strict requirements..
That WOULD have gutted it.
