Will it pass or is this just another symbolic gesture?

So if the bill doesn't have the vote, then it shouldn't be brought up for a vote??

I guess I am tired of futility and frustration. The GOP has control of the Senate and does nothing. Reid declared the nuclear option to get their appointments thru. The Dems used all kinds of legislative tricks to get Obamacare thru including reconciliation so they only needed 50 votes.

If you cannot even get cloture to have a recorded vote, what's the point? The vast majority of the voters don't follow this inside baseball process stuff. When a tree falls in the forest, does it make a noise?
