It is going for a vote on 24th Jan and it needs 41 no votes to fail
and so far only 15 no votes are confirmed. So it will go a long way to
convince the still undecided 41 senators. In US there is no party whip
system so each senators can vote based on his conscience (most of the
time it is bought by corporations - it is public too).

You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your
rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as
they follow the rules: laws and constitution.
