They thought they finally vanquished efforts to repeal and replace ObamaCare in July. So the GOP is using a special process called “budget reconciliation” which neuters filibusters and requires a simple majority to approve bills. Of course, almost any GOP repeal and replace bill would likely command at least 45 yes votes. Senate Democrats also have another option: submit amendments so lengthy that they take hours to read aloud on the floor. But that process requires “unanimous consent.” If Senate Democrats play their cards right, they wouldn’t grant GOPers consent to end the reading of their amendments.
