Within next 15 minutes, they are calling them to the floor now for the vote. Most say it should pass. Senate will vote upon tomorrow.

Passed - but the best thing was Gabrielle Giffords returned for the first time to vote! A complete surprise, she showed up on the floor about halfway through.

And her courage is to be respected not the subject of cheap political shots. It was great to see her back where she belongs, a symbol of the American spirit overcoming the evil intentions of a sick mind.

By God, everyone is now so fond of having guns pointed at their heads that they've abandoned any notion of maintaining a system of governance that is remotely functional.

Rather than having two elected bodies that present policy, stage debates, and take votes, lawmakers now want to offload the duty of making tough choices to a "Super Committee."

And if that fails, there will be a trigger that shoots everyone where it hurts them most.

That's what it takes, in 2011, for our elected officials to be forced into performing the bare minimum of their job descriptions.
