Ted, > Well, the article said "at the current pace"...... Yes, I saw those words in the article, but they never defined how they arrived at that "current pace." Yes, they did define it: "Nearly 1 in 6 roll-call votes in the Senate this year have been cloture votes. If this pace of blocking legislation continues, this 110th Congress will be on track to roughly triple the previous record number of cloture votes — 58 each in the two Congresses from 1999-2002, according to the Senate Historical Office." ____________________________________________________________ My guess is that they looked at a burst of cloture votes that happened in the most recent week or two and "concluded" that the pace will continue. As if Congress ever was that productive. The slow pace was under the GOP.......the Dems are much more productive.....after all, they are making the GOP work nearly a 5 day week.....you've seen the GOPers complaining, haven't you? ;-)
