Assuming the Dems attempt Reconciliation: What are the roadblocks that we can impose? I heard on Neil Bortz (Jamie Dupree Segment) that any amendment gets 24 (or 36?) hours of debate. So multiple amendments can be the same as the filibuster. Any input here is appreciated!!

I can only say what I have heard/read elsewhere: that a reconciliation process is really ONLY designed for a budget and that multiple amendments - or the stripping away of same through requirements of endless discussion of each and every one - are allowed. If that’s the way things go it will get bogged down and I pray this nightmare is STRIPPED TO THE BONE!!!
