Like it or not, Reid cannot do anything wo the house. Under the Constitution, both houses must recon a bill. It cannot be passed onto the pres otherwise.

Like it or not, Reid cannot do anything wo the house.Like it or not Reid's bill would likely pass the house with full support from the Dems and establishment Republicans.
Any Republican who votes for Reid's bill needs to be primaried.

You are assuming the Constitution has any effect right now.
If you haven't been paying attention, that might not be a valid assumption. It is prelude to the next step of the Executive Branch assuming complete control.
What will be interesting is that the Judicial branch has usurped a lot of power, and will not be willing to cede it. The legislative branch will wither either way.
