re: #681 CapeCoddah

This will not end tomorrow, the Republicans have enough votes to send it back for a re-vote on a couple of points of order.
Constitutionally, there will be a big problem if it is assed in this fashion, because the language being voted on is not identical in both chambers. That is a big No-No, like it or not. Even if it passes, the only dems who will be left in either chamber come January will be those who are not up for re-election, and this mess, if it passes will be scuttled then. The main campaign point, should this pass will be promises to repeal it and we will see what blowout really means. The donks are signing their own death warrant with this, and they think it will keep them in office.
They are in for a shocka.

My understanding is the House will vote on the exact Senate bill language tomorrow. If it passes, then Obama just needs to sign it. What they do to “fix” it afterwards is anybody’s guess.
