NPR chatting with Senator Grassley (R-IA) about filibustering the recovery bill:
SIEGEL: By the way, Senator, we always just assume that anything in the Senate requires 60 votes because there will be a filibuster threat. Is that right? Does this bill need 60 votes to pass?
GRASSLEY: Yes.
SIEGAL: It does?
GRASSLEY: Yes.
No cloture votes! Make them strap on the adult diapers and talk, talk, talk. And then spread the word: "why are the Republicans standing in the way of recovery and reinvestment in America?!"
