Not really. You could have 12/12 of the Committee and it still wouldn't mean anything. The problem isn't getting it approved by the Committee; the problem is that whatever total debt reduction package comes out of the Committee (assuming they can even agree on one by their Nov. 23 deadline), still would have to be approved by the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the POTUS. All of that is extremely unlikely which is why the legislation creating this process included a fallback provision providing for automatic cuts in government spending.

And, unfortunately, that is the most likely outcome.

Incidentally, does (can) anyone know how to contact Chris Krafcik? Would be really cool to hear his opinion on all this. (http://twitter.com/#!/CKrafcik)
Just tweet him. He'll respond to you. Didn't see this till just now. You prolly already figured it out.

If a bill comes out of the committee, it is passing. It would already have been approved by party leaders.

you'd think so, but in fact all supercommittee members have been experiencing a complete media blackout since entering the congressional one-way-mirrored cone of silence in mid august.

party leaders and corporate representatives couldn't contact them if they tried desperately. they are sealed in a waterproof ring of pure cooperation until november 23, and absolutely nothing can influence their decisionmaking not nothing not ever.

Once something becomes illegal it seems almost impossible to get it back.

Kyl and Frist got what they wanted and could care less about giving it back.

@gnvsnnkv I note that politically powerful special interests (e.g., AGA and NIGA) have not endorsed a super-committee #Internet #poker push.
