…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.
