Coming up on self-imposed deadlines, multiple bills face dire future
CNN
With just four legislative days left before the Senate's week-long Memorial Day recess, it's still unknown when Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer bring the legislation to create a commission to investigate the January 6 Capitol Hill riot to the floor for a procedural vote that will test whether if it can get the 60 votes needed to advance and pass.
Right now, the measure is expected to fail, as a CNN count shows there are not 10 Republican senators who would vote to override a GOP filibuster. Republicans are concerned the commission proposal has become partisan, is duplicative of law enforcement and congressional investigations, and would slow down implementing needed security reforms at the Capitol, which is now without the National Guard contingent that was brought in when the riot happened almost five months ago. The key vote may happen this week, but could slide past the weeklong Memorial Day recess.
