Speaker John Boehner showed some backbone on the House floor yesterday, as that body passed a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, with amendments attached which would roll back DACA—something that’s long overdue—and remove funding for President Obama’s executive edicts (they weren’t executive actions because he simply spoke them into being like Zeus from Olympus) dealing with immigration amnesty.

He did no such thing.

He did not make those amendments non-severable, so the Senate can simply remove them and send the bill back to the house in conference.

This was all Kabuki theater to prove to you meanie conservatives that John is really, really on your side and a conservative, while he still is doing the bidding of the Chamber of Commerce.

If he really wanted to prove he had some backbone, he would have made those amendments non-severable.

Yep. It’s a ploy to bait conservatives but we aren’t buying.
