Mcconnell is slick. "Republicans knew that Democrats would filibuster a bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare. Conventional legislation needs 60 votes to break a filibuster to start debate and 60 votes to halt debate. McConnell knew Democrats would block the GOP at every turn, as Republicans only commanded 52 votes. But there’s a way around that. A special process called “budget reconciliation” lowers the threshold to a simple majority (51 yeas) to bring a bill to the floor. Budget reconciliation turns off most filibusters. But you still have to figure out a way to get onto the bill." pretty sure they gonna keep doing this if they cant pass bills without dems... sad tbh, bipartisanship is dead thats why we need 60 so both dems and reps work together. |

not sure but im thinking what would stop the gop sen majority leader from tweaking the senate rules to get what they want without dem support? they did it with the scotus pick and currently doing it with the health care bill. sad but true...
the point of the 60 2/3rds majority vote threshold is so that both parties can work together... but hey all power to the GOP since they control both chambers... what can ya do? -_-
