They can’t get a cloture vote because they’re missing two of their 60. Byrd and Kennedy don’t come to work anymore. So if they really wanted to start ramming legislation through, they would have to tell these two guys to retire. Not going to happen.

For health care, I'm sure they could wheel the two of 'em in on gurneys if needed.
