Passage of the DISCLOSE Act...

...is apparently in doubt. Schumer can't count on all the DEMs going for it and the Republican Senators are standing firm against it so the DEMs won’t be able to get past a filibuster. The reason for Republican opposition? The Republicans have correctly identified the legislation as an attack on their party and its ability to get their apparatchiks elected. They’re opposing it not because its unconstitutional and wrong but an attack on their power. Oh well, any chair in a barroom brawl.

UPDATE: It's failed for now, but Schumer isn't giving up.
