They passed it in a budget bill, I think 57 for, filibuster proof, but this time they need 60. Hopefully there will be a few more sweating Rats and Rinos being it is election year.

It passed 51-49 on 3/16/06 in the Senate as part of the Budget bill. Collins, Coleman, Chafee, DeWine and Ensign voted NO, Landrieu voted YES. Voting was about more than just ANWR obviously.

Win, win for Republicans.
In an election year, with very high gas prices, I'd love it for the RATS to filibuster.
Great campaign issue for us to clobber the RATS over the head with in November. You gotta really love The Republican House for his vote today.
