Senator John Cullerton, the Democratic head of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is expected to consider the bill later this month, said he is "philosophically in agreement with [it]." He expects that wide, bipartisan support from the House, where it passed last year with just one abstention, will carry over in the Senate. "But I need to, we all need to, look at it closely...
