Ball is in Elmendorf's court

CBO may be releasing their score of the merged Senate bills today. Then perhaps a motion to proceed as early as Friday.....supposedly their are only 57 sure votes to start debate. If so, they can't even start. If they get 60 to start, Republicans will likely insist on reading entire bill on floor, Dems will then go non-stop to do it and Republicans will have to keep at least 41 on the floor around the clock.....if less one Dem can stop the reading. Then they will get down to actual debate on Nov. 30. Welcome to the Senate!
