Everyone remember, the quorum vote is not the final vote, it is a vote to move the bill to a vote. Even if the quorum passes, it may still have a chance of being killed.

I wish that was true, but it's unlikely. It takes 50% to pass a bill. It takes 60% to end debate. If the Dark Side wins the vote to end debate, they win the vote to end captialism.

Not a Chinaman's Chance, not with this congress...all we can hope for is Republican solidarity so that blame can be cast, later, where it's due.

I know, but that seems a slim hope.

All Republican Senators north of the Mason Dixon Line are liberals. Obama has the votes in the House and the Senate to lead the lemmings off the cliff and we all go with them. That’s the truth of the matter and at this point there isn’t a damn thing we can do to stop them from bankrupting America or getting some of us killed.

Even if the quorum passes, it may still have a chance of being killed.That's not what a quorum call is about. It just means the Senators are being summoned for roll call. If a quorum (i.e., 50%) of the Senate doesn't show up, someone can then motion for adjournment. It's a stall tactic.

If the Senate
changes the bill and it gets passed, does it go back to the House or a House Committee for a vote?
I always thought the bills were supposed to go from the House to the Senate to the President, but it seems like I have seen bills go back to the House for a vote.
