re: #980 Jeff In Ohio

A version of the HCR has already passed the Senate, it can be submitted as it is to the house for passage and be law by Friday.

Only if the House accepts it without any changes. The chances of that are zero. Maybe less.

The House will send a modified bill back to the Senate, where it will have to be debated and voted on again. It may be possible to avoid a filibuster by manipulating Senate rules; if not, Brown’s election might make a difference. Although even in that case, there are multiple ways things could play out.
