I'm
embedding this video even though I can't hear it now that my sound
whatchamacallits were fried by a Microsoft update. But I'll bet
it's
good enough to make most of you want another 2 million man march on
Washington, and do some serious smiting this time. Here's some no
sound decoder necessary background.
A senior aide to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told
CNSNews.com that it is “likely” that Reid will use H.R. 1586—a bill
passed by the House in March to impose a 90-percent tax on bonuses paid
to employees of certain bailed-out financial institutions—as a “shell”
for enacting the final version of the Senate’s health care bill, which
Reid is responsible for crafting.
Under the procedure, the substance of House Resolution 1586 would be
removed and replaced with the entire Senate health care package. The
maneuver would initially require the support of 60 senators to vote for
cloture on the motion to proceed to H.R. 1586 (i.e., end debate on the
congressional procedure and move forward).
If Reid wins 60 votes, then debate begins on his health care package.
Reid could then decide to block all amendments and attempt to get a
vote on the entire package.
