I didn’t realize the split was close enough to enable filibustering. Defections are important but I doubt they will be able to hold the line with the RINOs we have. Nevertheless, my real concern is that the Dems will agree to toss a few paltry bones to the Repubs and get the votes they need with the bill largely untouched.
I doubt there will be a unified opposition against this monstrosity.
All it takes is one GOP defection, and one of the Maine Senators has indicated she will vote for a stimulus.
I doubt we can get the same number of Dems (to offset GOP defections) to filibuster. No Dem has the cojones to stop Obama’s first major objective.
