I don't know if they'll get to the stand alone bill. Provided he introduces it at absolute earliest, before the Senate adjourns tonight (they're still in), they'll do a procedural move that would make it possible for the bill to be called up on Monday at earliest. Then they would have to file cloture on a motion to proceed to the bill, wait an intervening day under Senate rules, have a cloture vote, wait out 30 hours post-cloture, file cloture on the bill itself, wait an intervening day, have a cloture vote, wait out 30 hours post-cloture, and have a passage vote.
