This bill will not be seen on the floor of the Senate this session. Every bill that is reported out of a committee is "placed on the calendar."
The Senate has a ton of more important things to do before they can even think about a bill this trivial.(Still have 1/2 dozen approps bills, Medicare Conference, Energy Bill conference, FAA Reauthorization to do this year).
Even if this bill gets passed by the Senate, it will never survive a conference committee....just my 2 cents

USMCMP,
Interesting thought there, I was under the impression if it gets to conference committee they would just put out a lesser bill along the lines of the House and then pass it and get it signed.
Don't you agree that Congress would absolutely love to pass a bill that makes a statement, but has no teeth to it? Almost sounds like a simple resolution that passes with no opposition to me, but effectively does nothing but give the sponsors "credentials" with the small contigent that cares about this ban.
