Did any Republicans vote for this?

And what happened to the 60 votes needed for cloture? Or can you not filibuster a budget??

This is sheer insanity!

They are going to bypass the 60 vote rule by changing this from a vote on a new budget to a simple reconciliation. Do you hear any complaining about that coup?
