I wonder how long it will be before we know if anything comes of it?

The Discharge petition requires 218 votes.

When Rep. Wolf started pushing this, he had about 120 co-sponsors.

Since Rep. Stockman started circulating the petition, the number has grown to 169.

Hopefully this event today will add some more.

It looks to be a long slog, but the bigger the number the better. It puts more pressure on Boehner. Hopefully sooner rather than later he’ll come to his senses.
