I say it will pass, and in terms of the big picture, the greater good is served by it's passage. If this does not pass, the hate-mongers are going to feel empowered by their success, and we can expect more of the same. If it passes over their objection, they might at least have to rethink their strategy.
I agree with Noone and Finn that the bill is flawed. I hope that the administration and the legislators will also learn from this experience. The reason it is flawed is a failed effort at bipartisanship. Many of the flaws result from the goodies thrown in at the request of the GOP, yet the bill will fail to attract a single GOP vote. I say from now on FFF . .orget them. Craft legislation that will appeal to enough to get a majority and make them actually fillibuster, rather than spoil the bill with a threat of fillibuster.
