Done deal in the House! (update... sort of)

... hey, if we count the Blue Dog Dems, we can even say it was 'bipartisan'...

(But: The GOP continues to be the Party of No. I sure hope folks are paying attention and that "Party of No" gets LOTS of airplay come October!)

Now to the Senate.

Update... sort of: Just to clarify current situation:
- House passed Senate bill.
When Obama signs it, it's the Law of the Land.

- House passed amendments to Senate bill.
- - After Obama signs the bill, the Senate is free to consider the House amendments.
- - Rumor has it Senate Dems will pursue 'reconciliation' to get this passed.
- Timeline: Supposing Obama signs the bill by then, Senate is set to take up House amendments on Tuesday.

My bet is that Senate GOP will prolong the process as long as possible - through use of recondite Senate rules they'd pummel Dems for using, through standard parliamentary procedural tricks (that they'd pummel Dems for using), ... who knows, maybe they'll introduce new legislation regarding same-sex marriage first thing Tuesday morning and demand debate.

BUT: with Obama's signature, there WILL be a health insurance reform LAW in place (however flawed it might be).
