.....”House dems are afraid that once the Senate version becomes law, the Senate will have no interest in taking up the fixer-up reconciliation bill sent by the House”....

So lets say Slaughter works for them and it stops with Bo's signature and is then Law. What then is to stop them from doing this with the amnesty bill...cap and trade...and all the others? It would seem they could ram their whole agenda thru this way?

There is nothing to stop them from pushing amnesty, cap’n’tax, etc. through via Slaughter.

However, we now have 41 votes in the Senate. So getting new legislation through should be more difficult for the dems. But, true to form, there will be GOP defectors. Either of the dingbats from Maine can be turned and, of course, when amnesty is on the agenda, we’ll have our old friends McCain and Graham leading the way.
