There was some mention of a procedure the House Democrats could use to get around Boehner stopping any vote on something like the Reid proposal....

Called a Discharge petition...Democrats are busy signing up for it...will need a few Republicans to sign up also.

Apparently if they get enough signatures they can force a vote in the House.

That doesn’t sound good for the House GOP at all - at this point getting a few Republican Senate votes should be fairly easy for the Democrats. They can sadly probably find a handful of GOP Senators who have caved by now.

Peter King already signed up for the Dim plan.
