The LAT argues this morning in an editorial on behalf of the Senate stimulus bill instead of the one passed by the House. The Senate bill will not clear the Senate because of Republican opposition. Tinkering with it only delays passage of the House bill and wastes "valuable" legislative time.
A report from another news outlet says the Senate last night voted 80 to 4 to invoke cloture on the House stimulus bill, with the result that the Senate will take up the House bill tomorrow, February 6th. Harry Reid has scheduled a vote on the Senate bill first. If that fails, which it surely will, the Senate will take up a number of amendments to the House bill before a final pass or fail vote on the amended House bill, probably near the end of the week.
