It "felt like" some common ground between the wyden and portman (and its successor) amendments would be found. It was complicated by Senate procedural votes that made amendments much harder, and an overlying concern about CBO scoring of the budget impact of the bill. It can still be amended by unanimous consent (all 100 senators)but wyden or portman will have to blink and all the bill-haters will have to acquiesce.
