51 Words for 20-01-2001 (with apologies to Sam Patterson)

51:
100 senators, equally divided
until today, Gore was tiebreaker
today, Cheney

Jan 6: not a senator 
signed an objection
to Bush's selection

even one signature
would have adjourned the session
and cast doubt on the selection

Democratic representatives
one of them white
raised 20 objections

there are no 
African-American 
senators
