Two words: Conference Committee.
Senate passes.
House makes sure it doesn't.
Then it goes into Conference Committee, and it's put in again.
That's the system, and this thing is DEFINITELY going to make it to Bush's desk. And be signed. No law ever dies, especially when we need to control the sheep and prevent them from revolting.
You know, I don't even get surprised any more. I knew damned well it was going to make it in the Senate. I know damned well it will fail in the House. And I know damned well the Conference Committee will put it right back in.
And I know damned well Bush will sign it.
I will ping all the naysayers who respond to this post when it happens. I will do so wryly and with a heavy heart.

You can ping me if it does Laz, and I'll be the first to admit I was wrong. But at this moment, I'm willing to say I do not believe it will survive.

I don't know what will happen, but I won't be saying "Won't happen".
That conference committee is what is really key.
