It is what it is. Reconciliation's been on the books for a long time and it's been used before. Just remember, a few years ago the Republicans tried to get rid of the filibuster just to get some conservative judges on the federal bench. If they had succeeded, this bill would have gone through in about two weeks, and there would have been no time for debate before it was "forced." The Dems just used the rules to their advantage, and it could still backfire. We'll just have to wait and see.
