re: #5 goddamnedfrank

Like what exactly?

Fact is that Boehner isn’t going to bring any legislation up for a vote, even if he did the Republican controlled House wouldn’t pass it, and even if they passed it the Senate Republicans would just filibuster it.

Depends on filibuster reform come next month. I’m still hopeful that Reid and the Senate Dems have got the spine to see it through, but there was talk about “bipartisan talks,” which leads me to think that the Senate Dems are not as resolutely behind the issue as initially assumed.
