The Democrats may have the majority but that doesn't mean they can just bully this thing through without ramifications. There are plenty of Democrats elected from "conservative" districts and states that will be looking for a job next time they come up for reelection if they don't come up with some sort of compromise. Believe me if it could just be rammed through it would have already happened, before the summer recess. They gave that a shot and we see how far that went.
