Oddly the same State Dept personnel were ruthlessly suppressed from expressing concern about invading Iraq because Saudis brought down the Twin Towers and damaged the Pentagon. Almost like a real leader and administration doesn't feel compelled to squash dissent.

4 days to go and Republicans are lacking 6 votes. Speaker has to notify of vote 72 hours in advance
A question for the ages. For that you have to look at the Senate calender and note floor work days. I know both the Senate and the House were not in session the week starting with Columbus day.
How open is Pandora's box? That is the real question. This may be seen as a bigger move in the future.
That's a lot to pay to try and pick up Tim Scott's 15 supporters and Pence's seven.

Unlike House Republicans, Schumer knows how to count. I guess that's more the Dem Whip, so Dick Durbin.
Schumer wanted to make this change weeks ago, which must go through the bipartisan rules committee. But, he wanted Republican buy in. McConnell asked him to allow Republicans to take a run at Tuberville first. Schumer allowed this only to have Tuberville object to his own caucus. Now there is no other way to go, and Tuberville will have all of the Senate tell him to fuck off.
I always like it when someone thinks it could be faster in Congress. Oh, my sweet, sweet child.
I think Schumer will do the temporary rule change this week.
