According to reports, 45 Democratic senators are in favor of the bill—which contains no text whatsoever—while 41 Republicans are staunchly opposed. At least three Republicans, including Sens. Richard Burr , David Vitter , and Susan Collins , have said they would consider crossing the aisle and backing the bill, an announcement that drew fierce criticism from GOP leadership and primary threats from members within their own party.
House Speaker John Boehner has already said the Senate version of the non-legislation is dead on arrival in the House, and that the Republican majority would work together to pass their own blank law.“The truth is, Speaker Boehner doesn’t have enough support in his own party, and will need Democratic help to pass anything,” said Rep. Steny Hoyer , adding that he “firmly and categorically stands behind” many of the nonexistent measures in the bill.
You can't just expect legislators to do something just because the peasants demand it. What kind of oligarchy do you think this is? Ain't nothing passing this Senate unless my corporate donors say so!
Ain’t that the truth!
And I have strong opinions about it!
It's the very defining moment Plato told us about.
