I didn't explain myself well I guess. Those voting on this bill have other bills they really wanted passed, but those other bills have been effectively stopped for whatever reason. This draft bill supposedly has some of those bills that were stopped attached to it, making it more attractive to those voting. This is a typical tactic is the political arena (I'll do you a favor if you do this for me). I suppose it was unnecessary to mention that as it's mere concept seems to elude you, and I only really wanted to mention the draft as a reality to both the Bush and Kerry administrations, not just a fanciful dread.
I don't really know much about how the voting works for a bill, but if it's voted on in late October, then when would it be passed by? January like most bills? Or might it go threw revisions before being resubmitted and voted on again, which could be why its before congress now? More to the point, I don't know why my friend told me they are voting on it in October, but I believe him.
