What scares me is that reid may introduce the bill again when there are only about 5 republicans in the chamber along with maybe 20 dems.

If I understand the rule correctly, it still requires 60 votes, not 60% of members present, to move the bill to a vote. Further, a quorum must be present to have the vote. The rule is to prevent chicanery like scheduling a vote for 3 AM and only telling a few of your buddies about it.

But because the Senate could not pass this ... the House will not be in any mood to even bring it to a vote if Dem shenanigans are responsible for sending it to them.

He voted last to defeat it so he can bring it up again.
