The unconstitutional "Slaughter Solution" is designed to accomplish two goals. Liberal Democrats hope to absolve themselves of their vote for the Senate bill, and hide the Senate bill behind their wish list in the process. Technically, they won't be voting on the Senate bill, but they are voting to pass it. Their legislative "fixes" are a separate issue. If Pelosi follows through with this tactic, then the members of Congress will essentially be simultaneously voting on multiple bills. The Senate bill, which will become law, and the House amendments which will at minimum face incredible delays in the Senate, and may ultimately perish altogether.
