Last edited Mon Jan 12, 2015, 07:23 PM - Edit history (1)
60 Votes brings Keystone to a Senate Debate.
NOTE: If Keystone passes & sustains a Veto from President Obama, Senator Hoeven R/ND says "only FOUR votes are needed to override that veto.
They are working on getting those four."
EDIT:
Vote to proceed to debate passes 63-32
Debates should be interesting.
I will be watching this.
What concessions will be offered & what will be agreed to?

I agree. Thinking that the Repubs have gathered all the supporters they're going to get.

The line has been clearly drawn between Nay & Ya. They will burst into flames when this KXL goes down.
