NYT: House to Vote on Bailout "again" Later this Wk?

Should the measure somehow clear the House on a second try, the Senate is expected to vote later in the week. The Jewish holidays and potential procedural obstacles made a vote before Wednesday virtually impossible, but Senate vote-counters predicted that there was enough support in the chamber for the measure to pass. President Bush has urged passage and spent much of the morning telephoning wavering Republicans to plead for their support.

They tried passing amnesty SIX times last year... In one case they voted it down on a tuesday and put it right back on the floor on friday...

I wonder who pushes this agenda against the people??

Council on Foreign Relations perhaps?

Well, OF COURSE it is. They'll be presented with "tapes" of certain conversations or photos of certain compromising situations. Take it to the bank.

Under parliamentary rules, you can vote again if you bring up the right motion.

Senate Republicans use parliamentary rules to their advantage often.

It can't be that big of a "crisis" if congress is making time to take holidays.
