Here is an interesting question

[AllentownJake]

If the Senate produces a bill with no Public Option and Roland Burris filibusters said bill, will he become the new Dennis Kucinuch on DU?

4. To be clear, he did not say he would filibuster it, only that he would vote against it.

There is a difference.

5. he said he 'would not allow this bill to come to a final vote'

If a government plan is part of the deal, "as a matter of conscience, I will not allow this bill to come to a final vote,"

6. That sounds like a filibuster

7. Where did he say that? It isn't in the linked article. What IT says is:

"I will not vote for any reform legislation that fails to include a strong public option. I will not vote for it. I hope you all will back me up on that,"

If you have another source, please link it.
