It'll sunset unless it becomes an issue in the election, which it will if we have some crazed shooting massacre just before it. If it is renewed, regardless of how many massacres there may or may not be, the Republicans can kiss the House goodbye. Tom Delay had better keep the troops in line.
Expect, however, a MAJOR push for renewal by the VPC, HCI, and Congressional Dims like BOxer, Fienswine, and The Swimmer and Scummer for not only renewal, but EXPANSION!
That way, if the lose the expansion, but still get renewal, they AND the Pubbies claim victory.
