Durbin was just on Cavuto saying no to getting rid of the tax...

I would need better sources.

That interview neither confirms nor denies what I heard. Like I said, I herad it once yesterday as a proposal (don't even know that it was Durbin who proposed it), and it was quickly overshadowed by the $100 rebate talk. It was a 6 month suspension of the federal per-gallon gasoline tax, it wasn't about taxing oil company profits/windfalls, which is what was discussed in that interview. I'm still looking for details, though. It seems that they quickly gave up on the concept.
