Reid has announced he will have it voted down late tonight.

Boehner is going to push him into the light of day tomorrow.

The Senate can’t take the bill up until it is officially presented to them by the House. If the bill was passed today, Boehner could wait until tomorrow to present it to the Senate if he wanted. The only likely case of delay is lack of necessary votes to pass.

Great screed at Ace of Spades HQ

"The current Boehner deal is less than meaningless. It's an insult to you. Boehner is grabbing your daughter, spitting in her mouth, and then burning your house down. All the while talking about how he's all about doing the right thing."

- break -

"Mr. Speaker, the only rational position for a reasonable man acting prudently to take is to honor those who made his rule possible and not raise the debt ceiling. It is politically rational because the House has already given the Senate and the President a choice: Do it like Americans want you to do it, or leave the debt limit where it is. Not only is it politically rational, it is the only choice that obeys the laws of economics: There. Is. No. More. Money. Somebody already spent it.

Drop the act, Boehner. Send the House home."
