Vote to End Senate Background Check Fillibuster: 'likely.'

[FuzzyLumpkins]

The next step is a vote on Thursday to break a Republican filibuster blocking debate on the broader package of gun-control bills. If Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D) of Nevada can rally 60 votes, as seems likely, the Senate would then proceed to debating and amending the legislation. At that time, Senator Manchin said his compromise bill with Senator Toomey would be offered as the first amendment of many to be put to a vote.

if someone has the power & resources to run for a senate seat, it shouldn't be a tough task for him to cheat over any background check imho. the routine procedure won't make no difference when the candidate can fake whatever certificate he needs to pass such background checks
