Votes first on WHAT? I don't see a bill for them to vote on. It has to go through the rules committee first.

Just heard on Fox that they’ll be voting on Senate bill that was just hammered out..so, not the original Senate bill? the new/improved Reid-MConnell bill? Can’t wait to see what’s in this garbage. Probably worse than the 1st one. Way to negotiate..we have two parties right?

There is some kind of “message” that can be sent by Boehner.

It’s one of those weird rules that people dont know about..like “martial law” as it applies to Congress - When Sheila Jackson Lee used it people thought she meant regular martial law.

It allows Reid to skip a cloture vote.
