| Thorn 05/03/23 4:52:38 PM #109: | Debt ceiling update: Dems actually pulled a savvy move. We've discussed the discharge petition option to bypass McCarthy before and one of the biggest issues it would face was that a pre-requisite for using it is that the bill has to sit in committee for over 30 days - and legislative working days at that. Knowing that if one of the higher profile Dems submitted a bill it'd receive scrutiny, they had a lesser known rep submit a bill back in January written in such a way that it fell under the jurisdiction of like 20 committees and could be used as a vehicle to be editted to a debt ceiling bill that has reached that threshold since it escaped the noticed of the GOP. So the discharge petition option is back on the table now. Would still require a handful of GOP defectors but the Dems did plan ahead on this one to set things up for this scenario. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/debt-ceiling-vote-democrats-discharge-petition-republicans-rcna82526 --- May you find your book in this place.
