A quickie, as I'm watching this happen. Republicans are insisting on adding a line item veto to the ethics bill. Byrd refuses to allow this, saying it is too big of issue to pass without much more debate. Basically, it seems some are determined prevent passage of the flagship ethics reform bill.
Some relatively harsh words are being spoken, and Reid is calling for a vote on several items.
Most interesting....let's use this as an open thread: tune in CSPAN2.
Is this the first real test of the majority?
