As Senator Harkin so eloquently put it, "We have to keep our eyes on what we're trying to do here. We're trying to cross a demarcation line. On one side is health care as a privilege, on the other side is health care as a right. With these votes, with the vote that we'll take before Christmas, we will cross that line finally and say that health care is a right of all Americans."

That's one small step for members of Congress, one giant leap for the American people. :)

not sure this particular argument is about legalities, but more about ethics and, lets face it, there aren't a handful of lawmakers in office nowadays that have any of that.

What's hilarious is the whining being done right now. The kind of give and take that went on between Democrats in the House and Senate to get this bill where it is has been taking place in DC since the days of Washington and Adams, and to SUDDENLY have a problem with the way they themselves have done business in the past is just sad.
