So I'm sure you're all familiar with H.R. 1022.
My question is whether or not you think it will be enacted. It was introduced on February 13th, 2007, and referred to the Judiciary Committee. It was then referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security on March 19th, 2007, where it sits now. As of today, it has 41 cosponsors.
I'm not exceptionally familiar with the timespan of bills such as this. If I understand it, it does not yet have a counterpart in the Senate. My question is this--what are the chances, in your objective opinion, that it will be "killed" in subcommittee or committee? I'm not sure the process of being "killed" in such a manner, though I assume it is just by not being brought up or resolved by the time congress adjourns.
So, my question is about the process, and how likely you think the process will work out in the bill's favor. 41 cosponors seems a lot, at 7% of the house, but maybe it's just a political stunt. Thoughts on the actual probability of it getting through?
