Just now on CNN - the major news tonight. GOP Congressman Charlie Dent said that from everything he has heard, Boehner will bring the Senate compromise to a vote in the House tomorrow, where it will likely pass with majority Democratic support, and with a majority of GOP members voting against it.
If all 200 Democrats vote for it, only 17 out of 232 Republicans are needed for it to pass.

Three uses are correct, the phrase goes back to the 17th century, England. I am sorry I am using the more literate form of the idiom.
And I am done with this discussion.
