Report about 30 minutes ago, Bill pulled from the floor. Legosi says they will work through weekend to twist enough arms to get it passed.

That's a good sign. She doesn't think the votes are there. Time is really on OUR side, not hers.

I am speculating now, but. . . I think this is face saving time. The lefties are going to use this weekend as "evidence" they did everything they could to pass it, while the moderate dems will use it as their "evidence" that after hearing from constituents they just could not support it even though "something needs to be done".

Then the hard left PACs can whine about how they need a bigger majority and less DINOS. And those in power can keep an issue alive and be perceived as doing all they could.

Typical Washington BS. But a dangerous game of chicken with the future of our nation on the line for sure.

Well that’s a bit of good news. Keep up the pressure...

Report is wrong. They are debating it right now on C-SPAN.
