My understanding is it did not fail. The bills that were tabled failed—they were dead. Bacus bill was not dead and they had to open regular business and debate that amendment. My guess is that opening regular business to debate would have brought on filibuster or it may have been outside of the purview of the Clay Pigeon procedure.

Agree. I said “The motion to table the Baucus amentment failed.”

That sounds right.
