4. Not just yet

Unfortunately.

This this allows the debate to begin. So we win round 1.

Once there is an actual finalized bill the real test is the vote for cloture which will allow the Senate to actually vote on the bill.

We have a ways to go.

It really sucks that so few can screw so many.

7. Wow! That's great news. I'm really happy to read that!

Reason prevails ..... finally.

6. When it is 60-39 (40) to END debate

then yes, we can.

Starting debate is meaningless with such a large majority of Dems (58) in those leather seats. It should be a given.

8. Nothing is a "given" these days.
