Yesterday, KPFA in Berkeley interviewed the head of NOLO Press. He said that whenever the bill looks like it could pass and be signed, he thought that Congress put up objections just so they didn't have to pass the bill that they knew was so bad. They like to keep it on the table because they keep getting campaign donations. He said that since the bill passes with veto proof majorities, the defection of three Republicans who balked at the abortion compromise could not have really threatened passage.
