[QUOTE="Broke, post: 755219, member: 22738"] The chairmen of the House committees are like Senators. Just a regular congressman doesn't have much sway though. If Oberstar wants it bad enough, then it will be voted on in the final bill. The Senate will either bring the whole bill down and they will have to start from scratch after the elections or they can vote to pass it. It's a risky move any way you look at it. In my opinion I think the Senate is bluffing and would eventually pass the bill with the express carrier language in the final bill. The two senators from Tn have threatened filibuster but I think after a few days of staying in session through their summer recess then we could easily get the 60 votes for cloture. Another wildcard I haven't heard anything about is that it's very possible that the republican Senators from Ky and Ga could vote in favor of express carrier protection because of UPS's influence in those two states. In my opinion I think it's still likely that this bill will eventually pass in our favor. [/QUOTE]
