In addition, the Dems proferred amendments that would have amended the bill to exempt veterans, active-duty troops, senior citizens and families facing unexpected medical bills, but these were rejected.
I myself certainly don't give any credence to any reports that the votes on the amendments were accompanied by laughter, hoots and/or catcalls from the Republican side of the Senate.

This was one of the only bright chapters in the birth of this bill. Just what we need - let's start exempting our pet groups from provisions. I vote to exempt lawyers who wear flannel shirts. Hank wants to exempt old hippies. Ty says that Ward Churchill should be able to file 7 whenever he wants.
It would be better to simply set up a fair and workable solution for all, rather than to set up crap, and then vote to make people we like avoid the crap.
