I wonder if the Republicans in the Senate will have enough cojones to filibuster it.

I hope they wouldn't. Force a vote and get the democrats on record, a month before the election, banning the expansion of domestic oil production.

.......Force a vote and get the democrats on record.....

I think the matter has been negotiated and settled for some time. The issue is not the issue. The congressional issue is CYA. The ban renewal will be brought to a vote and will fail.

The ones voting for the ban will be those who must vote for it or loose their seats.

The ones against the ban will be those who must vote against it or loose their seats.

That leaves a few who don’t have a problem to vote against the ban and make up enough votes to pass. My guess is the votes are already counted and in the bag.
