The Bi-Partisan Senate Bill,
Reconciliation and Nuclear Option?
There is a fine distinction between using the process of up or down votes and ending the filibuster. One thing is clear: They are Republican ideas. Using them would be the bi-partisan thing to do. In fact, if both are not on the table, start removing the Republican amendments with up or down votes, under reconciliation, after first sacrificing the nuclear option, their idea that they have now flip-flopped on, but hold them to reconciliation. Still bi-partisan. In fact, one could end up with a fair and balanced progressive bill using Republican ideas and call it a Republican Health Care Bill, with proper use of flip-flop and government run programs.
If this seems* like fanciful reasoning, you don't know Republican logic. Or was it Marie Antoinette? More than you, knot.
