What does that mean? To me, there are 56 dems who will vote for DA. So, I hope there are some republicans who will vote for DA. So far we need four republicans. If I am wrong, please correct me. |

Franken 20. Feingold 21. Kohl 22. Harkin 23. Durbin 24. Bayh 25. McCaskill 26. Lincoln 27. Landrieu 28. Levin 29. Stabenow 30. Brown (OH) 31. Rockefeller 32. Nelson (FL) 33. Webb 34. Warner 35. Mikulski 36. Cardin 37. Coons 38. Carper 39. Casey 40. Specter 41. Menendez 42. Lautenberg 43. Schumer 44. Gillibrand 45. Lieberman 46. Dodd 47. Whitehouse 48. Reed 49. Kerry 50. Leahy 51. Sanders 52. Shaheen I can't reach 56 Democratic supporters of DREAM, like what Ramos says. There are 6 more member of the Dem caucus (Tester, Baucus, Nelson, Pryor, Manchin, and Hagan), but I don't consider any of them yes votes. The only thing I can conclude is that Ramos is wrong when he says that 56 non-Repub Senators support DREAM. There may indeed be 56, but that includes some Repubs such as Lugar, Bennett, Murkowski, and Collins. The only way Ramos can be right is if he has knowledge about those 6 Dems Senators I consider no votes, and I am wrong about 4 of them being no votes. Perhaps Ramos knows that Manchin, Baucus, Hagan, and Tester are secretly yes votes? |
Well, they might vote no on the Dream Act but yes on the Cloture Vote.

And you don't just count every democrat a yes because they didn't come right out and say no. I think Manchin is gonna be a no, but I have no proof so I won't post it. But you have no proof that he will vote yes either so he is rightfully unknown

SAYS THERES ANOTHER VOTE ON SUNDAY AFTER SATURDAY'S VOTE?? WTF!!!! |
If cloture is achieved (if there are 60 yes votes), then Senate rules require a certain amount of time for floor debate, followed by a final vote that only needs a simple majority to pass (51 yes votes). The final vote is the one that will be held on Sunday.
