Title: Senate Health Care Bill Come to Floor
Post by: Towntalk on November 19, 2009, 09:15:58 PM
The 2,074-page Senate Health Care bill comes up for debate Saturday.

What's even more interesting is that Senate Rule XIV (paragraph 2) states that every bill and joint resolution "shall receive three readings prior to its passage."

Will the Republicans force the bill to be read allowed in full three times by the Senate clerk?

That would be a real hoot.

The Republicans will not have the opportunity to halt the debate toward final passage.

By the way, the Senate version of the bill would find abortions.

It's as good as passed. no one can really stop them now. I can only wonder if the damages can even be reversed.
