I thank the gentleman for the question. It's a great question because we know when Scott Brown was elected, he said, I'm the 41st vote against this. There are not 60 votes to do what they are saying, which as you're pointing out, the Stupak amendment--if our pro-life friends across the aisle were to get talked into voting for the Senate bill as is, on the promise that, oh, gee, we will bring that amendment up, and we are sure it will pass--I just don't see how anybody can make that claim because it has already been made clear at the other end of the Hall that they are not getting 60 votes to do it.
