Republicans were able to sustain their filibuster against the bill atedcruz7nd prevailed on a 56-43 vote, with Democrats voting to move to a vote on the pro-abortion bill and almost all Republicans uniting to vote against it.

I bet Democrats are scarfing up big bucks from the pharmaceutical industry. They’ve been sicked on Hobby Lobby, and people of conscience, like rabid predators of culture.

First of all, I don’t drink coffee, and secondly, I was quoting the correct title of the movie. Angels are spiritual beings - angles are not. Perhaps, you were trying to be “cute.” No harm, no foul!
