It's probably time that we all stopped waving our arms over "reconciliation" and delved into the arcana of Senate rules. These posts from Keith Hennessey are a good primer, as are these two on the mechanics of modifying the current bill through reconciliation.
The good news: It's not a slam-dunk. If Obama & Co. are serious about this, they're going to spend some time on it, and the American electorate is going to be all-too-well informed about exactly what's being rammed down their throats.
Amazing article, thank you a lot for your hard work.
