It is quite possible that Reid aims to kill this bill because Bush wants it so much. That Reid hates Bush is well known. You all may recall the reason republicans voted against cloture en masse last month was b/c Reid would not allow their amendments to be heard and voted on. They simply asked for more time and Reid wouldn’t allow it. Then he (Reid) took the floor and blamed Bush and the GOP.
Reid is not about to kill the bill - it is a democrat win in a hundred different tentacles. That bill is packed with items that will turn this country into a socialistic state, drain the social security and entitlement programs and will allow us to do nothing about our defense of the borders.
