Wow, sounds like His Ladyship drove a real hard bargain. NOT! After the way Reid perverted the Senate rules and bribed Senate Dems, His Ladyship should not even be speaking to The Undertaker. We are at war. Time to stop making peace.
What I heard in news reports was that several GOP Senators asked their leader to go ahead and get an early vote so they could get home before Christmas day. Its a moot point anyway and strickly symbolic. Im not much for symbolic victories.
