So where were we? Oh, yeah, the Senate has to pass all the fixes the House progressives want before they'll pass the Senate health care reform bill, and because of Massachusetts, they have to be passed under reconciliation, which only needs 51 votes instead of the 60 they no longer have.
And the Republicans have said reconciliation may have a debate time limit, but there's no mention of a limit on amendments, so they'll just keep piling them on until November.
Too arcane for you? Well, that's where we are. The amendment thingie has never been tried before, thus the two or three ways the Dems might be able to get around the ploy haven't either.
Stay tuned.
Oh, here's a link in case you want to know more. But really, who would? Isn't it time for Lost or something?
