Schumer needs to sue himself in federal court to get a judge to order him to vote for a CR.
Then he will have cover.
Agree....the Dems are FINALLY going to defy Schumer...and I think it will be today!!
How is that possible?
A judge in the Judicial Branch has ordered the Executive Branch to spend money which has not been appropriated by the Legislative Branch. How can the judge do that?
Can the same little judge order the Legislative Branch to pass the Continuing Resolution to fund SNAP? "Listen to me you lowly Democrat Senators! I am a Rhode Island District Court judge! I order you to pass this legislation! You must obey me!"
Seems to me that this is nothing but a Separation of Powers issue. The judge has no role at all and should shut up.
Yeah, just where we want them (eye roll).
This article is one reason why I’m not in favor of ending the filibuster right now, let the Democrats eat this shutdown.
If they ultimately cave, the leftwing base will go insane.
If the Republicans had a real fix for Obamacare that would lower the cost of health insurance and the Democrats would not go along, then ending the filibuster makes sense, ending it how basically bails out the Democrats from all the political fallout.
Schumer’s taking the heat for this, but is Nancy Pelosi whispering in his ear? I can see her wanting to take a last gouge at Trump. Schumer doesn’t come across as smooth enough for it to be his idea.
The democrats are so blinded by their irrational hatred of Trump, I don’t think they will ever concede. I really think they would rather see America fail, than to allow Trump a win.
When the government is shut down, its not open for regular business.
For the sake of our nation and our financial security, the GOP has to hold the line. Otherwise, this nation is truly doomed.

Nor are the cowards willing to put pressure on it so the standoff continues.

And who has their boot on the neck of the GOP?
Never underestimate the Republicans' skill at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. If Trump wasn't president, I think they would have already issued a preemptive unconditional surrender.
The headline sounds pretty optimistic to me. I’ll believe it when I see it…
The clock is ticking towards Thanksgiving, the biggest travel season of the year. Democrats need to be aware the disrupting air travel is at their own risk. Anyone who is planning on flying commercial had better start thinking about alternative means.
The GOP is the party of stupid politics. They will lose the shutdown fight. Biggly.
“Democrats voted for a shutdown. Now they have to find a way out”...Ass.Press Oct.1
The problem is the dumb brainwashed Americans blame Trump thanks to the fake news media.
