Sen. Norm Coleman, Minnesota Republican, said he plans to vote to proceed with the debate, but expects another 60-vote showdown on another parliamentary maneuver, known as a "point of order." Mr. Coleman said if the bill is not changed to his liking by then, he could join in voting to block it.

Colemen needs some serious heat applied. Maybe then he will see the light.

It appears that he is setting it up to make certain only 51 votes are needed to pass the legislation...He is being a bit too nuanced for me, and he is showing his true colors.

So, how will we respond when our Senator tells us he voted against final passage of this bill although he did vote for cloture today? Are we going to let him get away with that?

The words “HELL, NO!” spring to mind...
