3. Add an amendment to it!

Nov 2014

Two reasons:
1) Poison pill - like requiring insurance to cover full cost of likely spills - maybe to pristine wilderness.
2) If it amended and passed, the House needs to pass it again or have a conference committee and then both Houses have to vote. Maybe they can run out the clock?

Ask yourself WWRD - What would Republicans do. They are experts in keeping things from passing - why let them have an easy pass. (Not to mention, giving them an easy pass on this will validate their claim that the House passed lots of things that Reid blocked without reason. )
