Real ID, HB 1582

[Rocketman]

Barnes that weasling worm, changed from OTP in commitee to gutting the bill when it mattered, who put up the amendement that gutted the bill....
Show up tomorrow 9:30 AM.
Dress nice, be respectful, and MAKE SURE HE KNOWS WE'RE WATCHING.
HE CANNOT WORM OUT OF MAKING A DECISION!

Thing is, Denis, I'm not sure that crusty old geezer can actually see.  Damn, I knew that 6-0 committe vote was too good to be true... I only got good vibes from Hassan and Burling, while Barnes seemed to scoff at all the testimony and even left the room.  

Analysis of our chances of getting them to refuse the $3 million pending a report from the BS committee?  This is so, so not over... do they think we're just going to go away?

Well that's lovely, does anyone have the updated bill with amendment?  I wish I could have stayed, but I was going out on one job, couldn't do two...

About zero.
But if we don't show up they will assume this is over.
They now need to feel the pressure on every single step.
They need to see what happened this afternoon was a miscalculation on their part, that the people will not stand for it, that they have touched a nerve and now need to scramble to save face.

I thought he was NOT for the amendment to gut this bill...but I could be wrong, I did not always catch WHO was talking as I was listening on the cell phone al the way to going on air.

also, even if the commission recommends taking the money it still has to go back for a vote AND the House has to concur~!!!

Heck I am multitasking here, no Ed and I'm running the computer and conversing with Howie on the air. LOL

I have no words..

this post has been removed by the vast right wing conspiracy.

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS.

edit- anybody know how Gallus voted? I still want to send flowers or a card to those who voted in favor of the bill, without amendment.

[CNHT]

I have no words..

I keep imagining these senators being assassinated. And I'm not even going to say I don't want it - I do.

Corrupt bastard politicians.

Gallus wins my vote next election.

Anyone know of any cheap flower shops in the Berlin area?
I want to have a card and flowers delivered to him to say thanks. This isn't against some stupid lobbying rule, right?

This new bill will have to be accepted by House committee and be introduced in the House.  Fillibuster time.

Will it? I thought it would be enrolled shortly, seeing as it's impotent.

If it just establishes a committee, does it need house approval?

[aries]

Just shot Gallus a short thank you email.

[Pat McCotter]

There will probably be a joint committee.

Yes, if they change the bill in any way it goes back to the house for a vote.  It goes back and forth until it is either voted down or agreed upon by both.
