ABS's usually well-regarded "The Note" reports that supporters of a flag-burning amendment to the Constitution may have the 67 votes to pass the United States Senate.

ABC News' Z. Byron Wolf reports that as of Friday there were between 66 and the magical 67 Senators (including 52 Republicans and 14 confirmed Democrats) who appeared open to a flag desecration amendment. By our count, there aren't a lot of whole numbers between 66 and 67.

Janet Hook of the Los Angeles Times had Leader/Dr./Sen. Frist chief of staff Eric Ueland in Sunday's newspaper saying the flag amendment "will win or lose by a vote."

The fourteen Democrats who have expressed support for the amendment under consideration are Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT), Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN),), Sen. Mark Dayton (D-MN), Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD), Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE), Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL), Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV), Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), and Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO) and Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI).

What is wrong with these people?

Debate starts at 4 PM today, with a vote expected tomorrow. If approved by the Senate, this first exception to the First Amendment would then head to the House, and thence to the states, where a three-quarters majority is required for ratification.
