Apparently Mitch McConnell failed to get all his Republicans to refrain from objecting to motions to move forward on four votes on tax cuts, two Democratic ones extending tax cuts up to $250,000 and $1,000,000 respectively and two Republican ones that would extend all the tax cuts. McConnell thought he would actually be able to allow a unanimous consent agreement to work, for what feels like the first time in years. But no, some Republican objected.
Instead, Harry Reid is just filing cloture on the two Democratic proposals, and the Republican proposals can go to hell. See, this is what happens when you aren't the one holding the whip.
