FDL (none / 0)

Jane Hamsher at FDL is reporting that there will be a separate vote for a Stupak amendment.  This will probably pass since Republicans will most likely vote yes.  If this passes the House it will need to passed by the Senate, but will need only 51 votes to do so.

This is sick.  Why isn't there are separate vote for a public option amendment?

Stupak's Done (none / 0)
whatever the reason for it being out, it's pretty well confirmed that there's going to be no change to the abortion language.

Also, now appears Dems may get to 216 (and p'bly exactly 216).
