We are optimistic that once the Marketplace Fairness Act is brought for a vote, it will have enough support to pass, said Illinois Democratic Sen. Richard Durbins spokeswoman, Christina Mulka. If it has enough support to pass, let it stand on its own merit and don't piggyback it off a defense bill.

What's next: the "Equalization of Opportunity Act" and the "Anti Dog-Eat-Dog Act"?

Same thing for the Real ID Act which has been a mess. Sensenbrenner wanted it and no one else did and he mentioned it will be attached as a rider that must pass. Bills should be single topic in Congress like in most state legislatures.
