1. They are voting now - it could be close. If it fails then the
sleezy Repigs put up an alternative just so they can say they raised it..

22. I wish they kept an on-screen running vote total
Like they do with C-SPAN1, so you can keep track more easily. I wonder why they don't? Because the voting is done differently?

39. That makes zero sense to me as well. I don't remember that being in...
"Roberts Rules of Order"... or did they write their own rules in pencil so they can be changed as they see fit much as BushCo's "signing statements"?

44. They need 60 votes to pass it...
That's why it never passes. The 60 votes is because it violates a budget point of order.

38. Very simple - wingnuts want no raise at all in min wage
I am wondering if the Dems agreed to withdraw due to the poison pill.

41. Net result = no increase at all in min wage
Dems withdrew the Kennedy amendment to avoid the poison pill added by Frist and some Repubs went on record as supporting an increase in min wage. What a shame.

45. Frist collected how much in his big deal recently on his holdings, and
here he is blocking a modest bump in living wages for much harder working people.

What a little pissant he is.
