Yes, of course -- but I heard on NPR today that Ted Stevens(!), R-Alaska, has joined with whats-his-name (Demo from SD, minority leader) in denouncing this as dead on arrival at the Senate.
They've gone loony in the House, talking about extra months in the budget year. They are simply nuts, and I applaud them making someone like Stevens look like a 'liberal'. This is no Legitimation Crisis, but is sure is funny.
