I'll lay money on it not happening. Sure, some watered down legislation may get to the house floor but it will never be passed.

It had to be done immediately. We lost that chance and the crazy right wing has fortified defenses now. The GOP house members from gerrymandered districts would be challenged in the primaries if they vote for meaningful reform so they won't.

Sadly nothing will happen. Rinse and repeat.
