Beats me too. I am getting confused as to how many bills are out there. This is my understanding. I’m sure FReepers will chime in if I’m wrong.
I think the one uploaded today is the one Reid had in that backroom where no one could see it. It modifies the one the House approved.
The other version would be the same bill but without the Senate changes.
So if the House deems (how I have come to HATE that word) the one without Senate editing to pass, it goes to Obama for the mark of the beast.
If they vote on the one with Senate changes, it has to go to a conference committee for approval and then to a Senate vote. I think is the ‘shell game’ Paul Ryan warned about, where they could take the poisonous filling out and replace it with another pile of equally toxic sludge.
Am I anywhere near accurate?
It “seems” they can “deems” anything they want. The new rule is “we make the rules as we go along” and there’s nothing anyone can do about it that won’t make you end up in prison.
No
Under consideration by the House is the Senate bill and a fixer upper bill. The original House bill is dead
The senate passed a bill and it will be a approved by the house. With this action there is no need to make the old house bill and the Senate bill to be massaged in conference until there is concurrance.
Then there is a second house bill that contains the fixes, the changes, necessary to satisfy the democrats holding out ( the no votes ). It contains all the payoffs and modifies the Senate bill to make it acceptable. The ultimate passage into law depends on Senate passage and then perhaps conference. That is the Rats who don’t like the Senate bill are depending on the senate to pass the desired modifications that were previously rejected when the original senate bill rejected them.
Republicans said they will assure their 41 votes will not allow the fix to pass. That can be taken to mean the no rats are being suckered. They are accepting it anyway
