If the liberal wing of the party is true to form, it will criticize the administration for missing another opportunity to pass good policy and to portray the Republicans as the party of the rich. If Carrol is true to form, he will say it's "silly" to concern ourselves with an irrelevant issue which has nothing to do with the more important task of building a revolutionary vanguard. If Woj and Charles are true to form, they will indicate they favour taking a stand, but will support the administration for not taking a stand, and join with it in vilifying the liberal Democratic critics of the administration as ultra-left.
