Senator Schumer

vows to put in the abortion provision in the proposed bankruptcy legislation, just as he did last session. Orrin Hatch is confident he can torpedo it in committee.

Interesting little passage from the American Bankruptcy Institute: "Critics of the legislation insist they have at least 40 Democratic votes necessary to sustain a filibuster." That's possible, especially if the abortion provision isn't included in the final bill. Surely the Senate must know this is the absolute WORST piece of legislation ever concocted, worse even than the "patriot acts." It would permanently destroy what remains of the safety net. We would have nothing but an indentured servant class in this country.
