One thing to consider are the Senators from red states up for election. Ben Nelson is in a lot of trouble in Nebraska and he may be looking for a life line. If the Dems pull their dirty trick lever, you could have a Ben Nelson step in a say I will not vote to end the fillibuster until Brown is seated. Ben has touted his ability to reach across aisles and form compromises, if he wants to save his skin in the 2010 election, he needs to stand up against the Dems and be seen as doing the right thing.
“If the Dems pull their dirty trick lever, you could have a Ben Nelson step in a say I will not vote to end the fillibuster until Brown is seated.”
I have called both Kirk’s offices and Kerry’s offices to suggest that they attempt to rehab their comtemptible and sneering attitudes to ‘we the people’ by NOBLY stating that they will hold up any vote on HC until the new Senator is seated.
That could help them save face and avoid a little tar and feathering....
