Tippy the Turtle has no business being the Majority Leader. Besides, someone explain how they avoid the filibuster. There has to be some sort of loophole for that.

It has been explained. Using the same procedure Reid used to pass it needing only 51 votes, called RECONCILIATION, he is promising quick Senate repeal, followed by Romney’s signature.

Reconciliation. It passed by reconciliation with less than 60 votes, it can be repealed by reconciliation with only 51 votes. Especially given that there is no more ambiguity...it IS a tax.
