Hit me baby one more time

The Associated Press reports on the House debate over the revenue-capping bill, and I think puts things a little too optimistically for it. In part because, while the AP mentions that HJR 35 (the revenue-capping constitutional amendment resolution) needed a 100-vote supermajority to pass - and failed to get 100 votes - the story neglects to mention that Rep. Bohac didn't even get a majority when push came to shove. In that sense I think the AP is moving the goal posts, so to speak. Moreover, today's story doesn't mention that the Senate ain't all that crazy about the legislation, either. I am predisposed to think that the revenue-cappers are probably going to go down in defeat. Again. It would be nice if the AP gave a little more perspective one way or the other.
Meanwhile, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill permanently repealing the estate tax, in their usual fashion.
