…Harry Reid just voted no on his own bill, killing the latest compromise.
UPDATE: Doug Mataconis chimed in to correct me and clarify the vote. “Voting no on cloture allows Reid to bring the bill back up and amend it when a final deal is reached, that’s why he did it.”
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Senate rules are haaaaard.
Thanks, Doug.
