Senate Democrats are "likely" to give anti-gun Surgeon General nominee Vivek Murthy a confirmation vote before they lose control of the Senate at year's end.
This gives departing Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) an opportunity to poke midterm voters in the eye for supporting pro-gun GOP candidates over Democrats.
According to Politico, a senior Democrat aide says Murthy "is likely to get a vote before Democrats hand control of the chamber to Republicans in January." In one way, he has his best chance for confirmation now because Democrat rule changes allowing confirmation by a simple majority are still in place. In another way, his confirmation is a long shot "due to queasiness among Republicans and moderate Democrats about Murthy's positions on guns."

A whole year of funding is not necessarily a bad thing.

I have doubts that Harry Reid will do it. Maybe there’s some White House pressure, but Harry’s chief of staff isn’t very fond of the White House antics anymore and I think it’ll just drop by the side and be forgotten.

In a normal world without communist/socialist being involved in funding amnesty, obamacare and left wing loyalty groups.

If Hillary wins, maybe Jocelyn can take a second lap. She’s only 81. Old leftys with gold plated healthcare seem to live forever.

Think of the savings to taxpayers if we can outsource our entire government to India.

A whole year of funding is not necessarily a bad thing. What? Do you need to take a moment to get up to speed on the issue or would you care to elaborate on why we should want to fund a dollar value for Obama to spend on anything he wants for the next year while Republicans are in control of the Senate and the House?
I'll hang up and take your answer off the air....

You completely forgot the President is Democratic. I just want a damn budget for once in 15 years. These continuing resolutions are ridiculous.
