we passed a full year's budget roughly in time for the fiscal year was 2007 for f yry-08. the last time the government passed a budget for half a fiscal year was 2008 for fy-09. democrats said we don't want a fight in the middle of 2008, bush, we'll take your budget at those low numbers and when we get a democrat budget we will plus it up. we haven't had a senate budget resolution in five years until this year. the house has passed a budget resolution, a framework to discuss a budget but the senate didn't even bother passing one until this year. >> in the event senator cruz does filibuster, then what happens? >> what would happen is, you know, first of all, you -- he would have to get 16 members of the senate to sign a letter with him to support a filibust filibuster -- i'm sorry. that's for clocloture.
