Yeah, John, you can pass it in the House that way and watch it die a slow death in the Senate. Even Dusty Harry admitted as much when he said:
"When asked whether that was possible, considering the thin majority Democrats hold in the Senate, Reid said it "is up to the White House and up to the Republicans."
Translation: We can't do sh*t without the Republicans
The problem being there are plenty of Sh*tty RINOS in the Senate, who might just go along with something like this.
