You really do have to keep your eye on these devils all the time. Feinstein has added a provision to the bill that allows people who become ill from NATURALLY OCCURRING ASBESTOS to apply for compensation from the fund. I need a fund for people who injured their toe when mother nature dropped a rock on it.

Good drama between Specter and Durbin, regarding the "secret list," that Durbin wants to put in the Congressional REcord, but Specter does not. Specter is offering to hand the list to Durbin so Durbin can review it. Durbin asks "Can I put it in the Congressional Record?" LOL.

Ensign up taking about the budget point of order. It is his point of order, and he admits that it is "technical." I don't have a good feel for how this point of order will go. The major opposition comes from the usual suspects, Durbin, Reid, Boxer, Kennedy ... which if limited to the moonbat wing, isn't enough to deny getting 60 votes to waive.
