S. 254 Gun control update

7:30 p.m. July 26 update -- About an hour ago Majority Leader
Trent Lott vitiated the scheduled cloture vote on Sen. Bob
Smith's filibuster on considering H.R. 1501, the House-passed gun
law-free version of the Juvenile Justice Bill.
Apparently, Sen. Smith decided not to block consideration of the
bill, but to try to block amending it by substituting the
language of the Senate-passed gun-provision laden S. 254. I know
he was considering such a change in tactics in mid-afternoon.
Sen. Lott then laid down a series of cloture votes to stop Sen.
Smith's promised filibusters on substituting the Senate bill,
appointing conferees, instructing them to insist on the Senate
bill and other parliamentary issues.
Those votes, each of which will require 60 votes to pass, will
occur beginning at 9:45 a.m. Wednesday.
The Majority Leader also offered first and second degree
amendments to each of those motions to prevent Sen. Smith or
anyone else from offering pro-gun amendments.
Each of the cloture petitions were signed by 16 Republican
Senators: Trent Lott (Miss.), Frank Murkowski (Alaska), Chuck
Hagel (Nebraska), Bill Frist (Tenn.), Jeff Sessions (Ala.), Rick
Santorum (Pa.), Ben Nighthorse Campbell (Colo.), Orrin Hatch
(Utah), John Ashcroft (Missouri), Robert F. Bennett (Utah), Pat
Roberts (Kan.), Jim Jeffords (Vt.), Arlen Specter (Pa.), Judd
Gregg (N.H.), Christopher Bond (Mo.) and Connie Mack (Fla.). Sen.
Thad Cochran (Miss.) signed the initial petition.
All but a couple were rated by NRA as "A" or "A-Plus." But all
except Campbell and Gregg voted for final passage of S. 254.
Unless those folks vote against their own cloture petition, the
Republicans can kiss their control of the Senate goodbye. All
those gun-owning, union-defying Democrats who have been electing
Republicans in the belief that they would protect their gun
rights are about to go back to their party.
