Because Avni Patel and Tiny "Independant" Sanders are the lynchpins around which the Senate rotates?!

I suppose I should be understanding, since its the first bill you've attempted to shepherd through senate as an author, but well, I think I'm grumpy since I spent five hours waiting for that bill to come up, and it kinda pisses me off that I can't have any control over my leg due to past senators not understanding governmental philosophies at all but ... the take-home lesson of the day is that there is no advantage to withdrawing a bill immediately. If it comes to a choice between having it failed or withdrawing it, the withdrawing/tabling can be done much later on (when they're practically ready to vote on it).

At that point, they will have very clearly articulated their objections, you then have a very very clear understanding of their objections as opposed to currently where I have no freaking idea really. Then you can fix their objections and their objections being fixed they'll feel like knavish poltroons if they continue to oppose the bill.
