Apparently if the bill is brought to the floor it takes only 51 votes to pass it. Some Senators who claim to be against the bill [Joe Leiberman] say they will vote to bring it up for debate.
I believe that is incorrect. It is only after the bill comes back from reconciliation with the House that 51 votes are sufficient. So it can still be filibustered. I Hope! I Hope! I Hope!
