Clinton is playing Obama for a fool.
Once the Dems lose Congress, Hillary will run in 2012 and cast herself as the sensible moderate.
This is Clinton's last gasp at taking over control of the Democratic Party again.

In the House, Pelosi and the left did something that shows us just how desperately they want to pass this public option: they abandoned one of the lefts foundation principles government funding of abortions for poor women.
Yet the liberals were willing to sacrifice that basic tenet of liberalism in order to pass this healthcare bill.
What does that tell us?
It tells us that they plan to put it back in at some later
date, probably in the middle of the night.

So if Reid pushes for the nuclear option and this travesty is signed into law, what are the chances of its Constitutionality being challenged, and overturned by the USSC?

Worse than that, they are willing to cede control of congress to get it passed. They know the Republicans lack the cojones to undo it and that they can eventually regain the congressional majority.

The use of a so-called "nuclear option" is outside of the court's purview. It just isn't a constitutional question. Instead, it's a question of whether the Senate followed its own rules -- something only the Senate is competent to decide.

I can’t believe that ANY dim senator believed Bubba when he said that FAILURE to pass healthcare would cost them their seats.
Even if they don’t believe that PASSING healthcare is more likely to cost them their seats, they should know that the Clintons want BO to fail and fail big.

I don’t think Reid can get enough Dems to support the nuclear option.
To: Free ThinkerNY
They have it backwards, if they pass this bill they will all be voted out and Obama will be a one term President.
To: Oshkalaboomboom
nuclear option is not permanent bill like Bush's tax cuts.
To: okie01
I’m not talking about the Constitutionality of Senate rules, I’m talking about the whole damn bill!
It would appear that might be the only other thing we can do.

Interesting prediction.
One thing in its favor...
...the Dems (e.g. Marxists and progressives) do one thing well...
They UNDERMINE.
And, when they are not undermining their country, their values, their military, or their political opponents (their true enemies), they are undermining...
THEMSELVES.
They are good at it, and they do fear each other.
