Front page online--heard this mentioned while watching Rules meeting live on Fox streaming video--does this mean 'demonpass' is dead?? Discussion in meeting seems to imply WAPO story is true?

Maybe they have enough votes to pass the Senate bill outright.

Today I am still, just a bill!
To: pillut48
They must have the votes and probably had them all along.

Waxman said they had to vote on the Senate bill...that is what I heard. And they cant add the amendments until after the President signs it...which the way things are supposed to work.
To: skeeter
No, it could mean they are confused.

Democrats in committee confirming they are abandoning deem and pass. Will hold separate votes on reconciliation & senate bill.

Could mean they think they have the votes... Could mean that they don't have the votes and thus need Cardoza's vote. He said he was a "no" so long as it was done by Demon Pass.

no, it means they could be in trouble with all of the goodies not attached to the bill.

Yep - it's been a done deal from the beginning with lots of theatrics thrown in for drama.
Sigh....
I for one do NOT welcome our new commie overlords!

Could also be a LIE. Waxman himself said they will be voting for the senate bill - it was a tricky lie. I would not listen to the Dems or the WaPo. They are playing with the meaning of words.

I don’t see how they have the votes to pass the senate bill. Everyone in the house knows that the senate is never going to pass the reconciliation bill.
They are in serious disarray.

The whole fuss over deem and pass was silly to begin with. Why do we care HOW they pass it. It would of only mattered if so much attention hadn't been on the vote, but in this particular case everyone would of known that a vote for deem and pass was equal to a vote for government healthcare.

To: pillut48
Good. I would prefer that our money and effort be focused on defeating (in Court challenges) the legislation on its substance, and not on the process in which it may be passed.
Unfortunately, this probably also means that they're confident in their whip count.
To: pillut48
It means that the undecideds now see that there is no such thing as "Deem and Pass". It was a leadership scam.
Either you are voting for the Senate bill or you aren't.
To: skeeter
Or they’ve become convinced that demon pass will go down in flames after the USSC gets a good look at it.
Their Yes votes were predicated on demon pass and a vote on the reconciliation bill, not on voting directly for the Senate bill.
They are still short, way short.
