So what's next according to Sen. Cruz?
The central vote the Senate will take on this fight will not occur today and it will not occur tomorrow. The first vote we are going to take on this is a vote on what is called cloture on the motion to proceed. Very few people not on this floor have any idea what that means and even, I suspect, a fair number of people on this floor are not quite sure what that means. That will simply be a vote whether to take up this bill and to begin debating this bill. I expect that vote to pass overwhelmingly, if not unanimously. Everyone agrees we ought to take this up, we ought to start this conversation.
The next vote we take will occur on Friday or Saturday and it will be on what is called cloture on the bill. That is the vote that matters. Cloture on the bill, the vote Friday or Saturday, is the vote that matters.
Keep your eye on the ball. Watch the French Republicans--the surrender-monkeys, one with "heroic" service in the Navy. And here in Wisconsin, let's watch what RoJo decides to do.
Count on RoJo to make several pithy comments about Benghazi.

ReplyDeleteSeeing as the vote for cloture was 100-0, is it safe to assume Rafael voted for the ACA?
Perhaps he tried his green eggs and ham, and found it to his liking.
