Re: I beg your pardon ....
As a neutral observer (after all, I've mocked both the House and the Senate), I have to interject -- if the Senate is spending all day on one bill, it's a trick they must have learned from the House. Let's count them from this session: TXU, the budget, border security the smoking ban. Oh, and -- zoinks! -- the very voter ID bill that's now holding up the Senate. And rules fights? Does this ring a bell?
