That’s where they’re both heading today, to cast their votes on the bailout package before the Senate.
This bill has a better chance of getting passed than the House version.
Congressional leaders seldom call a vote unless they know the outcome beforehand. House leaders miscalculated Monday, resulting in an unexpected defeat for the bailout. Now sweeteners are under discussion to lure dissenters in both parties.
The “both parties” part can’t be over-stressed. Partisan politics have become toxic in this country, and that largely defeated this bill in the House on Monday.

How many degrees of debate fatigue are there?
We’re being challenged .

On Saturday, Clinton called for a ... more

And that’s been happening more in the past couple of years than I can ever recall at any other time. The Court is speaking out more, especially when individual justices write books and promote them. That’s the case now with Justice Antonin Scalia’s new book coming out, Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges (i... more
