Yep. The fight was in the House. There’s 60 votes in Senate to kill any filibuster.

There are not 60 votes supporting this in the Senate — Lieberman is opposed along with Byrd and others. They do not have 60 votes and Dr. Coburn plans to read the bill on the floor of the Senate.

Liberman is counted in that 60.
