Be alarmed yes but PANIC is way overblown and stupid at this early stage.
It’s not early stage.
I know the legislative process. 1 or 2 votes away from ending debate...after that it’s over. There are no other major hurdles. The Conference bill will pass.
Thanks for a very good and informative post and thread, jveritas.
If Lieberman breaks his much stated promise that he’ll vote with Repubs for filibuster after debate if a public option plan remains in the bill he’ll be run out of town on a rail. Joe would have no credibility at all and I’d bet money he’ll keep that promise.
We have to keep contacting senators and making noise and stop this fiasco.
