Several speakers have mentioned their “amendments”. Harry Reid is not going to allow anybody to offer amendments but himself. It’s a procedure called “filling the tree”. Harry Reid can allow himself to be the first person recognized on the floor and once cloture is invoked he will move to end all amendments but his own, which will be to fully fund Obamacare. It will go to a vote and win with 51 votes.
IOW, he will ram through the funding the same way he rammed through the Obamacare law - by sheer brute power without amendments or debate on amendments. That’s what makes this whole think stink so badly. It’s Harry Reid in his self-titled role as God.

How can a senator ram through funding, when only the House is allowed to do the funding?
