Account Deleted By User Currently, the Senate has an extended open voting time, as to whether to bring the House amendment (from yesterday's passage,) to the floor.  90 of the 100 Senators have cast a vote, 44 Yay, to 46 nay. POTUS is calling for the nuclear option, to break the normal number of votes (60) needed to break a filibuster, down to a mere majority of 51. Schumer has said that the amendment, with border wall funding, is "dead on arrival."  At this time, the remaining 10 Senators, yet to vote, comprise 6 GOP and just 4 DEMs. If all voted party line, then the total would be 50--50, giving the tie breaking vote to VPOTUS, Pence. Currently, the vote is held open, to give Senators time to fly in, from around the country. The DEMs, imho, have no reason to fly in, unless the GOP can get all 6 members in, and the vote to 50. Mitch has said that he could not get 50 votes, in order to use the nuclear rule. However, that isn't out of the realm of possibilities, if all 6 GOP Senators will arrive, and support the measure.  Stay tuned, folks... it's gonna be a long night...  note: all three habitual RINOs, have voted nay (Collins-ME, Murkowski- AK, and outgoing Senator Flake- AZ) Senators who have yet to vote:  GOP- Corker, Hatch, Heller, Isakson, Kyl, Paul  DEMs: Feinstein, Jones, Murray, Udall Source: C Span 2 live UPDATE: Flake changes vote to yay, other Senators appear. Final tally is 47-47, VPOTUS casts deciding vote: Aye.  RESULT: both party leaders state that vote of 60, nor even 50 isn't there. Therefore- not voting on bill AT ALL, until an agreement reached with WH, Senate, and House. Senator from TN begins filibuster, which can run, with no 60 votes to stop it. Looks like gov't shutdown is ON...
