Here’s the explanation:

“The reason for this? The original reconciliation instructions require Democrats to use a bill written before 10/15/09, and this bill fits, well, the bill. What’ll happen next is that the legislation will head to the Rules Committee, who’ll erase what’s currently on the page and replace it with the real reconciliation package. It’s a bit like how painters will reuse a canvas they’ve already painted on, though they’re doing it to save money and the House and Senate do it because their rulebooks are confusing.”

'though they’re doing it to save money and the House and Senate do it because their rulebooks are confusing"

Ezra Klein is such an obnoxious little pansy. There's NOTHING confusing about their "rulebooks". The only problem with the rules is that the Dems (and their sycophants like Ezra Klein) see things like House Rules and the Constitution as inconvenient impediments to their grand social redesigns.

I'm sure Ms. Klein (yes, I know he's a man) didn't think the rulebooks were confusing when the Democrat Senate minority was keeping Miguel Estrada off the bench. Nope, rules then were well-founded principles of legislative excellence. Now, they're just "confusing".

In the early days of television, the shows that weren't live existed on videotape only until the station needed more videotape. Then they would record right over the old shows. Lots of early TV was lost in this way.

If the Rats could do it, they would wipe out the history of what they are doing in the same way they will wipe out the October bill entirely and substitute their new language.

Because the dummies who voted for 0 don't understand the importance of the rule of law and are not very well informed, they will be happy idiots if this travesty becomes law. Health care bill good; defeat of health care bill bad. That's all their little minds and grabby hands can fathom.

All our efforts at communicating with the House are now in vain. All our demonstrations now in vain. The polling showing that more and more Americans are catching on and now constitute a majority--all in vain. We are going to have to rely on the Court, the states, and any other means we can think of to do away with this bill.
