Notice they will table it. Not vote it down. If the Senate GOP hangs tough and blocks Reid’s bill they may just have to take it up again. I would have thought the Dems would just amend the heck out of it and send it to conference.
If they vote it down it returns to the House and can be resubmitted. By tabling it without action it remains alive but sealed in the Senate,forcing the GOP to develop, vote on and submit a different bill
