Live on Cspan 1

[gratuitous]

1. In past years, one vote from the other side was enough to call something "bipartisan"

We'll see if the same rules apply when Democrats are in control.

Spoiler alert: Of course not.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

2. Ha! Up to three now. It's a GOP bill !! :)

[Laura PourMeADrink]

[Eliot Rosewater]

[Wellstone ruled]

11. He'll veto it regardless

And they won't be able to overturn that it looks like. Have to see what the courts do, Congress is powerless in this scenario.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

13. True. But it will take him look bad

[madville]

14. I think we are past them looking bad

One more straw on a pile of hay.

To override a Presidential veto. Does anyone really think that's going to happen?
