Senate Reconciliation

I didn't realize, until today, that there was a way to prevent a Senate filibuster. Apparently, if you go into reconciliation, you can "limit debate" which I guess overrides the rule that says nobody can vote until everyone has said what they want to say. If you can tell people to sit down and shut up, they can't keep talking to prevent the vote.

But they say Harry Reid won't go for it. He's still trying to get 60 votes despite the fact that, like, four senators refuse to pass the bill with the public option and a few others won't pass it unless it does have the public option.
