there is no need to debate today they had 15 mins to do so and they didnt so just move it now
they had thier chance to debate they didn’t their fault! Right!!!?
For the next final vote I’m talking about.
Now they will spend the 30 hours (hopefully less) trying to reach a unanimous consent agreement to limit debate and limit amendments. Because both parties have unrelated amendments, hopefully they will be able to reach an agreement or their non-germane (unrelated) amendments would be thrown out if they have to invoke cloture on the bill.
My concern is the 13 Senators who voted no. They could filibuster the bill too, forcing another cloture vote.
So basically we are not even close yet!? UGH
wait so basiclly they can really screw us again i thought they have to bring a vote to floor now
so we can still get screwed good
taylor i thought the motion to proceed was to get it on the floor for a vote how can they still filibuster
They do have to bring it to the floor within 30 hours. Once on the floor they can filibuster again. To do so, would insure the non-germane amendments are thrown out. So there is leverage to agree.
Remember a unanimous consent agreement does not mean that literally everyone agrees. It only means that no one is going to contest it.
how would they filibuster on the floor talking forever like what was that movie mr smith goes to washington is that what they would do
Because once the bill is on the floor, they can filibuster the bill itself. To do so, however, would cause another cloture vote and that cloture vote would limit amendments to those related to HR3548. If the Republicans want a chance at some of the unrelated amendments, they cannot afford cloture against the bill. There is leverage.
If thats the rules then they have to have it on the floor again tomorrow (Wednesday) or by 12:30AM Thursday morning (and I don’t think they want to stay that late tomorrow nite).
you think they will screw us or did they just vote no because they didnt want us i mean kyl and mcconnel were the bad guys…
So when will the vote be
also was i right they would filibuster like mr smith goes to washington on teh floor like that

“The Obama administration on Tuesday officially threw its weight behind legislation making its way through Congress to provide additional weeks of unemployment benefits to help Americans hit by rising joblessness.”
What do you know the Commander finally decided to pop out of the cake! What a twist of fate.
Hes the fashionably late stealth president .
LMAO! Good one, now he needs to go back to where he came from!
According to wikipedia….
After cloture has been invoked, the following restrictions apply:
The amendment language does not pertain because the vote was on the MOTION TO PROCEED and not the bill. There are no amendments on a MOTION TO PROCEED.
