Hatch: Senate GOP Has Votes To Send House Bill Back To House For Vote

If and it is a big if, Nancy Pelosi has the votes to pass the Senate version of Obamacare and the "fixes" to go to the Senate to be voted on, via reconciliation, Senator Orin Hatch says Senate Republicans have enough votes on at least two points of order to alter the measure and send it back to the House for a second round of votes.

If the measure passes, Senate Republicans have enough votes on at least two points of order to alter the measure and send it back to the House for a second round of votes, Hatch said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt,” airing this weekend.

“If those people think they’re only going to vote on this once, they’re nuts,” Hatch said as House Democratic leaders rounded up support before the scheduled vote on President Barack Obama’s top domestic priority.

The senator from Utah also said the approach Democrats are using to pass the legislation in the House may be unconstitutional because the House and Senate aren’t voting on “exactly the same language.”


The wheeling and dealing being done by Nancy Pelosi this weekend, may all be for naught and is probably meant as a quick "feel good" moment which will soon end as her schemes backfire against House Democrats, if this bill makes it to the Senate.

Even Harry Reid cannot guarantee he has the 51 votes needed to pass the House's "fixes".

House leadership is throwing each and every far left liberal in the House, right under the bus, knowing the Senate may very well never be able to obtain the votes to pass the fixes, even via reconciliation where Reid would only need 51 votes and once Obama signs the Senate bill into law, House democrats cannot do a thing if the Senate doesn't pass their fixes.

Funny thing is, they know it and they are still jumping off that cliff with Nancy Pelosi.
