If they can't agree on a funding bill, DHS will be in a technical shutdown

I don't see the problem, here. DHS is a disaster of an agency. Most of it should be abolished.

I wouldn’t put it past the spiteful Obama to shut down the airlines, via TSA, because of this.

Congress and the president need to agree on a plan to fund DHS sometime before February 27th, when its current funding runs out.

I must be missing the problem.

The Senate just failed to pass a bill...

(snip)

One Republican, Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV), voted with Democrats against the bill.


This makes no sense.

If only one R did not vote for it, how did it not pass?

The uni-party will do as it wishes. The bad guys will be picked by the money masters, much like in the WWE. The two wings of the uni-party will attack each other, in a choreographed dance that serves to divide the public. The public picks a side, and attacks each other while the uni-party does what the money masters demand.

In the end, all in the political class get wealthy, while the laugh at the morons in the public who don’t even notice what’s being done to them.

I don’t doubt they could do their job with 85% of their employees. But of course the GOP will fold. It’s what they do best. If they really wanted to pass it the would have done the same reconciliation trick the RATS did to pass Obamacare.

This is the blackmail of politics when you have a man with a pen.

What the hell do you think the Republicans can do?

The problem is where you need 2/3's of both houses. Our forefathers pulled that out of the air.

Sessions: ‘We Took an Oath to Defend the Constitution, Not a Political Party’

4:01 PM, FEB 3, 2015 • BY DANIEL HALPER

Republican senator Jeff Sessions will be releasing this statement responding to the Senate blocking a vote on Homeland Security funding:

“House and Senate Republicans are standing together in defense of our laws, our borders, and our constituents. But Senate Democrats, following their party leaders, blocked debate on this bill—a bill which fully funds every lawful activity of DHS. What the bill does not fund are actions that violate the law. Senate Democrats are voting to protect an imperial overreach and to deny citizens control over their own government. They are advancing an open-borders agenda against the will of the American people.

“When President Obama and a cadre of special interests tried to force his immigration bill through the Congress, the spoke out clearly—and stopped it. Voters sent home many of the lawmakers who voted to support that agenda. So President Obama met with those same immigration lobbyists to craft executive decrees accomplishing by fiat what was denied by the constitutional, legislative process.

“The President himself acknowledged many times his planned action is illegal. Many Senate Democrats even campaigned against the President’s executive amnesty. But now they are lining up in unison to protect their party, and the interest groups they rely upon, rather than the constituents they represent. We took an oath to defend the Constitution, not a political party.

“With this vote, Senate Democrats are supporting presidential actions that strip American workers of their lawful protections. The President’s unlawful amnesty provides work permits, Medicare, Social Security, and free tax credits to 5 million people illegally present in the United States—taking jobs and benefits directly from struggling Americans. A vote against cloture is a vote to promote all of these policies.

“Today’s vote, however, is only the very beginning of the effort to reverse the President’s action. This is day one. What is needed now is a sustained, organized, unified Republican effort to rally the nation against an imperial edict erasing our immigration laws. Such an effort would ultimately succeed. The position of the Democrat Caucus is untenable, insupportable, and unsustainable.

“For decades, the American people have begged and pleaded for a lawful system of immigration that puts their needs first. They are worried, justly, about the impact of uncontrolled immigration on their jobs, wages, schools, hospitals, and communities. Politicians can only ignore those demands for so long before the dam breaks.”

“GOP FOLDS.”

Indeed.

There is no other solution.

Which is why the GOP is now on official death watch.
