More on the Congressional Brouhaha (sp?)

From the office of House Minority Leader Representative John Boehner (R-OH) via Jonah Goldberg at The Corner on NRO: Democrats to Change 185 Year-Old House Rule To Allow Tax Hikes Without Having to Vote

The Washington Post also has an article just about the failure of the Iraq bill: Senate Rejects Iraq Withdrawal Amendment (free registration required).

Now, once again while talking to Quin, he and I discussed the rumoured plans of the Democrats in Congress to attempt to rescind the Congressional approval for the war in Iraq. Let me break down how I think this could go procedurally.

1. Pelosi and the D's pass this measure to remove the minority's Motion to Recommit.
2. Pelosi and the D's manage to get the Congressional approval for the war rescinded.
3. Thanks to the removal of the Motion to Recommit, the R's cannot take the original bill to approve the war and recommit it to the House floor.

Sound about right? Gotta love procedural harlequin dances.
