Very hot new stuff here:

House Republicans will attach a Balanced Budget Amendment to Speaker John Boehners last-ditch debt-ceiling plan, which GOP lawmakers said would move the measure to passage in a high-stakes vote later on Friday.

Republican lawmakers voiced confidence the enhanced bill would pass muster with conservatives, as Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) predicted the balanced budget amendment change would bring 10 to 20 more GOP members on board.

Do this, and ball is out of the House court.

Bill Daley told Wolf Blitzer Obama gave (an apparently new) limit-raising plan to Boehner.

But he didn’t make it public? Blitzer asked.

DALEY: No, because there’s… both the speaker and – and the president had agreed and – that these sort of negotiations do not happen in public.

And we certainly believe Bill Daley on this point, do we not?
