Silver Lining?
don’t getcher hopes up
Byrd’s illness could complicate the financial reform bill’s path to President Barack Obama’s desk. Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, one of four Republicans who voted for the original bill [yeah - big help, there, pal], has said he might vote against the version that emerged from the reconciliation of the House and Senate versions because it adds a $19 billion bank tax.
Should Brown vote no and Byrd is unable to vote, it would leave the bill one vote shy of the 60 needed to close debate and move to final passage.
Not that I wish the Old Klansman ill, I’d rather he face natural consequences for his 437 years of bad choices here before he gets around to Judgement Day. But I’m sure he could use a nice long rest up and lie in… Say, ‘til November?
