ho-hum. With the Republican "moderates" in the Senate (a la gang of 14) and President Bush's "new tone," they will likely have all they need to enact this.

Do you actually believe that the Senate Republicans will have enough backbone to use the procedural filibuster the way the Democrats did? Don't fool yourself into thinking "they really need 60 votes." They have a majority and the Republicans won't have the will to stop them.
As for needed a Bush sign off, well I'll believe he's capable of vetoing bills when I see it.
