Early Tuesday, the Senate voted twice, both times along party lines, to move health care reform legislation closer to passage. First, they voted to adopt the manager's amendment introduced by majority leader Harry Reid (D-NV) last Saturday. Second, casting aside another parliamentary delay maneuver, Democrats voted to invoke cloture, or limit debate, on a substitute amendment, thus clearing the way for the final three votes that need to pass if Democrats want to pass health reform legislation by Christmas Eve. The next vote is scheduled for 1:00pm Wednesday, with the final vote slated to occur around 7:00pm Christmas Eve.
