Here we are again my friends, hopefully for the last debate thread on this particular monstrous legislation. Proceedings are supposed to begin at 9:30 a.m. EST, with the cloture vote being taken at 10:30 a.m.

On a personal note, you've all been wonderful in your passion, vigilance, and commitment to the principles on which our country was founded. If I have to be in a foxhole, I want to be in it with you guys.

Rockefeller no? I guess I haven’t been paying attention.

[SoFloFreeper]

An upside down world!

Abusive, arrogant jerkwater Webb votes "No" on cloture, and Larry Craig, good conservative from Idaho votes yes.....

Still, I feel like this cloture vote will FAIL!!!!!

Hoo-rah!

[Greg F]

[Petronski]

why don’t they have the vote tally on the screen on C-Span?

The House (the People's body) does that, but the Senate does not.

[truthkeeper]

I think FR's server is about to crash. I'm getting loooong grey screens and sllllooooowwww responses.

If it goes down, I'm sending you guys a group hug...love ya and thanks!

[herMANroberts]

[USArmySpouse]

Er...hooray for Bernie Sanders?? A “no” is a “no”. lol

[Jack Black]

Johnson isn’t voting, which leaves 99 senators. 60 votes is needed for cloture, so we only need 40 of the 99.

Aren't there two who are not voting. The dead one from Wyoming and the one in a coma?

[romanesq]

38 baby and counting

[mware]

35 no votes so far.

[TomGuy]

Y = 31
