A sliver

Chuck Todd was the first talking head I have heard to make this important point.

The Republicans can't argue against Reconciliation in good faith once the facts are clear.

They have to grease with their argument with, "it has never been done on a scale of this size" (nevermind the fact that the tax cuts I believe were Considerably larger) and approved via Reconciliation.

Here is the reality the Senate has passed health care reform with the requisite 60 votes. If the house were to simply pass the exact same bill this is all for nothing game over. What is being considered under Reconciliation is a very small portion of the bill. Honestly, most of the stuff that they are considering items that they truthfully against.
