I’m not sure about the CR.
But these three things I am reasonably certain:
1) Soetoro will be POTUS until January 20, 2017.
2) There will be no government shut down.
3) There will be no impeachment.
Elections have consequences. Yes conservatives and Republicans have something to celebrate with the election results from last month. But we still have divided government and we do not have the 2/3 vote required to override presidential vetoes. We do have the power of the purse and I am hoping we will see a significant reduction or a least a slow down in federal spending these next two years. But that all said, I don’t think much will be accomplished these next two years. The way our government is set up, you really cannot accomplish much unless you have the presidency and both houses of congress under the control of one party. The GOP’s hand has been strengthened, but most of the positive change we will see will come from the individual states. We still have divided government in DC. We still have pretty much stalemate. I don’t expect much to happen in DC until there is a COMPLETE change of government in DC.
The option of impeachment as you say is off the table and honestly the Republicans wouldn’t do that if they had 85 seats in the senate.
The only other option is to shut down the government to defund lawless action. If you are unwilling to do so then you do not have the power of the purse, pure and simple. You can pass bills all day long in the House and Senate and der fuhrer will veto them.
The Republicans in Washington have group think mentality and kowtow to the media who hates their guts, why I don’t know because they are essentially nothing more than skinflint democrats at this point. If the media and democrats told the Republicans that practicing pedophilia and child sacrifice was the only way they could win they would take up these evil practices. They let their enemy the democrats tell them when, where, how and why they do things and they always lose. Uniparty on parade, not a dimes worth of difference.
