    I don't know. The Senate is somewhat insulated from the will of the people. Let's see if it can get by the House, where all the representatives are running scared.

    Yep, 66.7% of them are totally safe for at least 2 more years and half of those for 4 years. I wonder if the 33.3% up for election this year were the ones that voted no? :lol:

    Senate is a rubber stamp. The house vote should be interesting. I think it will pass with a minor window dressing which is what this is. There is nothing here for home owners.
