Now-- both chambers are getting ready to reconvene (at 1 pm).

Both chambers of Congress are anticipated to resume around 1pm today. The House of Representatives is expected to hold a vote on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's debt crisis plan. That vote is expected to defeat act, acting as both revenge for Reid's killing of Speaker John Boehner's plan last night, and also conveying the message that House Republicans will want more Democratic compromises before a plan can pass.

It may be that the House winds up voting on Reid's plan before the Senate does. A test vote is currently anticipated there at around 1am on Sunday morning, though hours of wrangling will no doubt come before.
