White House Dossier: Mitch McConnell’s Brilliant Maneuver

He doesn't think the Republicans can pull off what they want to do, so this is their best option.  He thinks it will allow the Republicans to position themselves for the next election while not having to go into a headlong retreat.

The problem I see is that it isn't in accord with the Constitution, and it may not get past the House.  But something similar might.

Another problem is a purely practical one:  it doesn't solve any problems.  But that's the big problem in DC, isn't it?
