If Harry Reid can count on 51 solid votes he may detonate the reconcilation nuclear option, attach the entire House Bill, as is, to some other legislation, pass and fed ex the bastard straight to White House where Obama will sign it in a Chicago second.
Agreed. Hume, et al are correct that this bill won't pass the Senate, but there is a danger that some form of it will and then it will be brought to reconciliation for a 51 vote approval. This back door is a real possibility because I don't think it can even be filibustered.
