Gawd, you are a colossal waste of bandwidth.

The critical numbers here are 51 and 67. It is quite possible to get a gun control to the Oval Office desk with RINO support, which negates a filibuster.

So the critical issue is, will it be vetoed or signed? Which makes this a 51-67 issue.

Goodnight, JUCO bait.

Noooo... because if there's RINO support, there's more than 51 supporters anyway. If the RINOs support the legislation, they must be counted towards the threshold... which remains 60.

Sorry, where does the 51 come in? If 49 Senators oppose the law, how exactly is it enacted? Any RINO who would not vote to sustain a filibuster cannot be counted as being in opposition to the law.
