I smell death...........

Since when is a majority 60%? Kick their fucking asses.

It has to do with rules. But it appears you do not care about them. Did you get beaten up alot as a child?

Stop projecting, pansy.

Exactly the argument used by the Republican majority. I like it. Talking heads of both persuasions have completely switched sides on their view of reconciliation/nuclear option.

The only question is what took so long?

ANDY

In this case, both the Senate and House bill have already passed both chambers. That's a different scenario than passing $2 Trillion of unfunded tax through reconciliation.

Take over 1/6th of the Economy on a move like this, and you can kiss your ass goodbye after 1 term, Mr. Resident.

I think he pretty much said he's OK with that.

If he is, that would be the first time he's told the truth...

The Democrats might as well do this:

"Democrat insiders say that an obscure parliamentary procedure known as "Staple-and-Bind" will be used as an alternative to pass a health care overhaul should reconciliation efforts fail. "Staple-and-bind" refers to the final act of preparing legislation, using an industrial-grade stapler and a three-ring binder, for shipment.

"We take a trivial piece of legislation -- a resolution to honor Vin Diesel for his lifetime acting achievements, for instance," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

"At the very last second, the instant before we staple and bind the legislation, we can insert as many pages of new law as will fit in the binder," she said, "This will allow us to pass a meaningful, bipartisan health care reform bill that will benefit all Americans with just nine votes in the House and three votes in the Senate."
