The top democrats are now threatening to try to pass Obamacare via reconciliation, which would allow them to pass it with only 51 votes. Recently the GOP has now decided that should the dems go down that road, they would offer up a boat load of amendments.
“If you bring a reconciliation bill to the Senate, it’s a free for all of amendments, There is no way to limit the number of amendments that are voted on. You can’t close debate. Democrats will have to vote on every politically perilous amendment that you can possibly think of.”
The idea would be to force them to vote on thousands and millions of amendments that would delay the process and try to derail the Obamacare.
It would be highly unwise for the democrats to try this strategy.
This possible threat has caused the dems to slam on the breaks for health care reform.
“We’re not on health care now,"
"We're not in a rush."
--Sen. Harry Reid.
