Voting continues on the Republican "plan." Keep talking.

And good lord, how do these anti-reform people calling into C-SPAN manage to breathe and dial the phone at the same time?

Update: We're saved from the Boehner "plan," with it failing 176-258. One R voted no.

Update 2: And here's the motion to recommit. I predict plenty of obnoxious.

Update 3: They decided it made more sense to go after trial lawyers than brown people in this one. Probably a good bet.

BTW, this should be a no vote for any Dem. But given that 64 of them are willing to sell out women's health, I wouldn't hold my breath on principled stands out of them now.

Update 4: Motion to Recommit is going to fail, with move than 225 no votes.

Update 5: Hoyer goes after the Rs on their "no time to read the bill" bullshit by calling them out. Kagro on IM:

Hoyer makes the key point that Republicans who are always screaming about needing time to review legislation have once again -- as the minority always does -- come to the floor with a motion to recommit that no one has ever read or had a chance to read. And it pisses them off royally!
