The Stackhouse Fillibuster

[Montoya1]

Hey,

Please explain at the end does Stackhouse get what he wants?

I mean, I know they find a way for the guy to yield but does he also get the money he wants for Autism?

If he does it seems amazing that the administration can make a huge u-turn and spend extra money just like that.

I watched this episode the other day, and I'm pretty sure that the amount of money he was asking for was almost nothing given the overall size of the bill.

The reason he was turned down in the first place wasn't because of how much money he wanted, it was because the more amendments to the bill, the less chance it had of being passed.

I can't remember, but I think in the end they delayed the vote in order to change to bill to include the money for autism.

Yeah at the end they delay the vote so stackhouse will probably get the money he wants. This is one of my favourite episodes. I love the bit when Josh falls down cos he's wearing the new shoes his mother bought him.
