Too bad. If the mendment passed there would have to be a conference between House and Senate to sort out the differences. That probably would have run out the clock on the 111th Congress of Idiots. Or, I may have it completely wrong!

Looks like the Obama compromise passed. Good thing is, our taxes won’t go up. Bad thing is we’ll have to hear Obama yapping about “bipartisan compromise” yadda yadda “hostage takers” yadda yadda “tax cuts for the rich” yadda yadda.

You got it right. It would have ran the stall clock. The Repubs had a chance to do it, but that appears to be too much organization to expect from them.
