people use hard ball tactics in politics when you re trying to gather votes. but to threaten an entire state, a state so dependent on the federal government crosses every line for what s appropriate political behavior. my gosh. extraordinary times this guess what, matt, we can t forget about all of these distractions and thuggery, we can t forget about russia and i m pretty sure bob mueller went to work today. that s right. it s a term you ll hear a lot today. vote-a-rama, sounds like a fun word but it s the opposite of fun. what exactly that means has senators debate a bill to repeal part of the affordable care act. here is a relevant cartoon today from matt davies about the transgender military ban. in a few moments we ll look at how the ban could actually be implemented and who would do it. stay with us.
waist side. our garret hayes is basically sleeping on the hill. reporter: starting at 10:00, senate returns at 10:00 a.m. and they got 10 hours and they start something that we call a vote- vote-a-rama. hundreds of amendments to this bill. most of this is symbolic vote. how do we get here? the republicans two big plans to repeal and replace or just repeal obamacare failed in spectacular fashion in the last two days. the repeal plan lost nine republican votes. mostly moderate and some folks focusing on the process and they thought it is disaster. the process does not get any better today. at the end of this vote-a-rama,

an amendment on the floor to be voted up or down. democrats have already planned hundreds and hundreds of amendments that are going to force republicans to take really tough votes. you know, senator elizabeth warren among those who are just going to put amendments on the floor that are going to be difficult in terms of a public relations standpoint for republicans and that they re going to have to vote down. we expect almost all of those amendments will go down relatively easy, but this is going to be something that will put them on the record ahead of these 2018 midterm elections, can be used in campaign ads and are going to be very difficult. that was one of the things republicans wanted to avoid. they didn t want it to get to this point, which is why many were surprised mitch mcconnell pushed ahead with the motion to proceed to get this bill to the floor. but once they get through all of those votes, vote-a-rama, they hope they can get 50 votes for and get it to that conference comm
