I think the Democrats have promised to delay any and all legislation if this option is used. It would be a political war in the Senate and nothing would get done. Not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion.

I wonder if the Democrats would receive the same criticism as the Rupublicans did for "shutting down the government" if this happens? No need to reply, we all know the answer to that already.

The democrats have already delayed any legislation that isn't defacto socialist. They have already declared war. Any legislation or appointee they dislike in the least is fought over tooth and nail now...so why don't we use this option? It's not like the dems can really be any more obstructionist.

You mean the spirit of cooperation and bipartisan comity that has characterized the Senate ....

Oh, never mind.

I suggest the Republicans let them, and then publicly use the wording you just enunciated.

And then, privately let it be known that no Democrat or Republican who stands in opposition gets a thing for his district until things return to normal.
