New timeline for today's votes

– 1:00 pm ET: House comes in for 10 “ONE MINUTE” speeches.
– 1:20-ish: Debate on two “points of order” (i.e., objections) against the rule (having to do with budgetary impact). Each point gets 20 minutes debate.
– 2:15-ish: Vote on the POO’s
– 2:45-ish: Debate begin on the rule
– 4:00-ish: Vote on the rule
– 4:30-ish: Two-hour general health care debate begins
– 7:00-ish: Debate ends. Vote on the SENATE bill begins (This is where John Boehner has asked for a manual vote, which would take much longer than a normal electronic vote. He isn’t likely to get it, however.)
– 730-ish: Debate on a Republican “motion to recommit.” This is the Republicans’ best shot all day, a motion that would scuttle the whole thing. Substance is always a secret until last minute, but we can expect it to involve abortion in an effort to put the Stupak group on the spot.)
– 745-ish: Vote on motion to recommit
– 800-ish: If motion to recommit fails, then the final vote on reconciliation “fixes.”
– 830-ish: Gavel comes down on final vote. If it’s close, Dem leaders will extend the usual 15 minutes to twist arms.
