3. They willingly did so in 2009 for Healthcare reform
The big difference was that they had 60 votes. So, the weekend sessions up through Christmas Eve were needed just because of Republican procedural moves to drag out what was already going to happen.

This time, there is not the same predictable success. The problem is that there are many things the Democrats want to pass - that the Republicans are stopping - acting as bullies on a playground. The problem is the Democrats DO care that unemployment is not yet extended - the Republicans really don't.
