Smash, much of the objection there was that that DoD's report had yet to come out.  Now that it's out, I think we'll see more Republicans vote for it.

At least another 22?  I doubt it.....

Not to mention as others have said, no way Boehner brings it to the floor.

Now that the report is out, I see no reason for Boehner to object.

You really have no idea how far to the right the GOP has become....  The report won't mean a damn thing to Boehner or the vast majority of the GOP.   It has no chance of passing Congress unless it passes this session.  No way in hell does the Boehner or the GOP allow it

The Republicans would block it simply because Obama and the Democrats support it.
Hell, if the Democrats passed a measure simply stating that the sky is blue, the Republicans would object to it and call it an anti-American, communist measure at this point.

I have no doubt that some would... I just have more hope that the majority of my party wouldn't.
