        "This is what the people want" is still wrong. - ty97 Jul 25, 12:14
        
        oh come on, you know those polls are all lies -- nm - decline Jul 25, 12:11

  - The vote coming up is on the Motion to Proceed with Debate. If it passes, they have 20 hours to debate........something - ty97 Jul 25, 11:25 8
    - (Pretty sure I'm correct that they set a 20 hour clock for themselves. No idea if that's calendar clock or actual debate time clock) -- nm - ty97 Jul 25, 11:30 3
      - it's a lunar clock -- nm - decline Jul 25, 11:56
      - Actual debate time, split between the parties. C-Span has a really good guide to the process and procedure. -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Jul 25, 11:36
      - pfm has a clock. and looks like he wants to use it. -- nm - Diva Jul 25, 11:35

- Yes on MTP or Yes on bill? - ty97 Jul 25, 11:16 7
  - [deleted] 6
    - Not to me. I don't think anyone votes for the MTP with likely planning to vote on the TBD bill that has to be created from thin air within 20 hours. -- nm - ty97 Jul 25, 11:24 5
      - [deleted] 4
        
        Who knows at this point? I don't think voting on MTP gains anyone much if they actually want this thing to die, but *shrug* -- nm - ty97 Jul 25, 11:29 3
        
        [deleted] 2

- Big, if true. -- nm - Spawn Jul 25, 11:42
