Not to argue (because I do believe the GOP has lost its way and most the above Senators are RINOs), but the premise has been noted that forcing a vote to once and for all bring this to the floor will expose the idiocy of it all. Keep in mind there are 6 Democrats from reddish state up for reelection in 2014. Max Baucus of MT and Mary Landreau of LA are two of them. My suspicion is this may be a way to call them out publicly i.e. if they vote for the legislation they are going to get trounced in their states in 2014. Finally, there is NO way this legislation in its current state will pass through the House. Food for thought.....
