Well...yes, they CAN vote to violate the Budget Act...and that is something that will have to be considered.

However, they need at least 60 votes to have that pass...and I am not sure that there are 60 Senators that would go along with that...

There are still discussions going on...I just thought I would post a possible monkey wrench being thrown at the Senators has they take their victory lap around the Capitol this afternoon.

I didn't even know Congress could legislate to require a supermajority in overturning one of its own laws. Something seems very weird about that.
