How many senate votes for DA ?

i forgot how many votes were needed, i was looking at the poll, and dems have the majority?

also what about the house, is that an issue ?

majority doesn't matter cuz they will filibuster.

doesn't really matter tho cuz the house is republican controlled... we can try tho!

They've got to make DA more difficult to obtain.

The House is definitely an issue.

Given that the largest growing demographic in the electorate is comprised by Latinos (the majority of whom support the DREAM Act), however, they'll have to do compromise with DA-supporting Dems if they want to have any chance at all to secure the presidency in the future.

I say DA-supporting Dems because there are some who are not for the Act <_<.

Democrats gained 3 extra Senate seats with the number @ 56.Senate Republicans votes are still needed in order to invoke cloture.

60 votes are needed for cloture, a very important procedural hurdle in the Senate. But as we saw last time, even a solid majority wasn't sufficient.

didn't the DA got passed in the house, and it wasnt put on the senate cause before it was mostly rep. Thus if the rep is mostly dem, then we have a shot of it passing and ofcourse our Bro OBAMA will pass it

obama doesnt pass laws....

that's the number, 60! thanks

i need a refresher, does it have to go through the house ?

Yes, it'll have to go through the house which is heavily republican.

However:

The rules for cloture are decided on by the senate at the start of every senate session. I have a feeling they may adopt a new set of rules this time. Or maybe not.. who knows?
