In the Senate, Priscilla Owen nomination received cloture and will move forward. According to
Powerline, the vote was 81-18, with all of the far left advocates voting to filibuster. The senators who voted yes were Biden, Boxer, Cantwell, Corzine, our own Mark Dayton, Dodd, Dorgan, Feingold, Kennedy, Kerry, Lautenberg, Levin, Lincoln, Murray, Reed, Sarbanes and Stabenow.
In the House, they are voting on using federal funds for stem-cell research as I post this. This is a very tight vote, and more than likely it's passage will come down to a handful of votes. I'm monitoring the numbers on CSpan, and right now the supporters lead in voting.
UPDATE: the stem-cell bill will pass the House. It passed 238-191, with about 40 Republicans voting yes. And since we know it's a virtual guarantee to pass in the Senate, the heat is on Bush to veto the first bill of his presidential term.
