Estate Tax Vote Expect This Morning

The Senate is expected to vote on a motion to proceed to H.R. 8 - full repeal of the estate tax. The vote will likely be very close with Republicans needing 60 votes to begin debate on full repeal. If the vote passes, the Senate will likely reject a full repeal, but may pass a awful so-called compromise that pretty much just as bad as full repeal. For details on the probable breakout of the vote, see my post from yesterday over at TPM Cafe. Senate vote will be on C-SPAN 2.
