At least nine Republicans have signaled that they will vote with Democrats to bring the bill to the floor, but it’s unclear whether Democrats will be united. If the bill doesn’t get 60 votes, the chamber won’t be able to begin debating it — much less see it through to passage.
“We’re moving forward on this bill. The American people deserve a vote on this legislation. And I’m going forward on this regardless of whether it’s a compromise or not,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, told reporters as he laid out his strategy Tuesday afternoon.

Conservatives - or anyone who believes in our Constitution - should get a list of all the documents that establish our government and start preparing to defend them.
First Amendment - Freedom of Speech
Second Amendment - Right to bear arms
etc., etc.
This government is out of control.
It will never get 60 votes Harry Reid is an idiot. They complain when Republicans use the Cloture vote, but they applaud themselves when they use it.. What a bunch of morons

I sure hope you are right. Last I heard there were 8 Republicans that were siding with the Dems on this one.
Half of the bill is comprised of laws already on the books, that they don't enforce. The other half is new taxes and fees. Money grab, nothing more... especially Maryland's gun bill.
Greedy crooks.
hope this goes to filibuster until time immemorium.
