Also, don’t forget to keep the pressure on Collins and Snowe; if they can hold up the budget-cloture vote, it’ll buy time on that Sunday night/Monday morning vote for healthcare cloture—because once the Dems get cloture, they’ve got their bill:
Cloture on the defense bill passed 63-33, with Collins, Snowe, and Kay Bailey Hutchison voting yes. With Lieberman gone, if all three flip to no on the budget point, the Senate will be paralyzed until Joementum gets back to D.C. to cast the 60th vote. Which, given Reid’s exacting timetable for passing health care on Christmas Eve, would cock up the whole schedule. Can the wonder twins from Maine do that much for us? They’re both voting no on cloture for ObamaCare and the defense bill is a fait accompli, so what do they have to gain by voting yes tomorrow morning? Delay, delay, delay.
Reid is trying to sneak the healthcare vote itself through on Christmas Eve; don’t let him do it.
