1. Timing...

Timing for tomorrow's votes
Posted: Saturday, March 20, 2010 4:23 PM by Domenico Montanaro


From the House Democratic Caucus meeting, this from House Democratic Caucus Chairman John Larson (D-CT). He says "shortly after 2, we will have an hour of debate on the rule." This is the rule to allow reconcilation to get to the floor.

They would then vote on the rule, sans deem and pass. He then says there will then be "two hours of debate on the bill."

Larson did not elude to passing the Senate bill later. But he did say they would do this "in the light of day."

In conclusion, Larson added that the Senate bill "will become law tomorrow evening with the president's signature."

3. Thanks for posting that. I was wondering when exactly this thing would be voted on.
One little thing in your post...and I'm a bit of a nit-picker, but I think you meant "allude" and not "elude" in your next to last paragraph...unless I am reading the sentence wrongly...
