I have trouble believing they really intend to create law with the deemed pass and sign proposition. I continue to think this is just a fake to get them by the Senate Parliamentarian on the question of whether they can get the House Bill to the Senate floor under the Reconciliation rule.

I think their scheme is that they either pass the House Bill, or more likely, the Senate amends the House Bill and passes a bill as amended and then returns it to the House where they can do this exercise all over again in April or May.

If that proves correct, the real issue will be whether they can pass the amended bill in the house--if they don't, they will need to face the real legal question of whether the fake actually created law.
