Right. Which is why I hope the vote is 'delayed' because Tormp's twitter shitstorm will be epic

Everyone seems to be equating a rule change to allow a 50-vote threshold for a supreme court nominee as "THE LEGISLATIVE FILIBUSTER IS GONE :byodood: "

I have given up trying to explain this.

we've nuked the filibuster in every which way already but the framework is still there

as long as there are convenient-ish ways around it it will remain

I typically agree, it's just that its pretty clear that the two sides want the bill to move in fundamentally different directions. Hard to satisfy both caucuses, much less the senate.

Sure. Cobbling together 215 is a tough act. But they have full power of speaker and President to bring out. That's a lot of power. I still think this is up in the air.

I think the fact that the republicans are using the relatively limited and politically fraught process of reconciliation to do healthcare demonstrates that there is literally 0 will in their senatorial caucus to remove the legislative filibuster.

If it passes, Trump may be stuck in Washington this weekend while protesters gather. Phones will be ringing non stop for a majority of congress. Town halls, if there are any, will be a mess. Trump will be all pissy over Twitter.

If it doesn't pass, Trump will be stuck in Washington trying to figure out how to get it to pass. Trump will be all pissy over Twitter.

Best case scenario the Republicans really have lost all ability to positively govern (in the things happen sense, not qualitative sense) and the perfect will always be their enemy of the good. That or they'll just pass everything because the stupid is the enemy and victor over all.
