Exactly, who in their right mind wants them up there passing laws that will cost up money. We got enough laws and don’t need a screwing any more.
This is DC we’re talking about. It’s a safety thing. The city gov’t won’t have some streets clear until Spring.
Act of God.
Big sissies.
Please, L-rd, we beseech you to bury Washington DC in snow every single week.
HOW DARE THEY SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT!

As mentioned in related threads, regarding federal spending, note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues. With few constitutionally enumerated exceptions, that means any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
”Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” - Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
In fact, one of the very few domestic federal services that Congress is constitutionally authorized to tax and spend for is the US Mail Service (1.8.7). Most other federal domestic spending is wrongly based on 10th Amendment-protected state powers, and state revenues uniquely associated with those powers, which corrupt Congress has stolen from the states in the form of unconstitutional federal taxes.
Remember in November!
When patriots elect Trump, or whatever conservative they elect, they need to also elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its Section 8-limited powers to support the new president.
Also consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
We need more snowstorms.
Well, at least the storm got passed.
Lazy-ass lightweight scumbags. Just cower at home under your beds and stay there until you die, we don’t need you.
Can the Supreme Court and US Senate stay out of session, too?
“House Will Hold No Votes This Week Because of Storm That Has Passed”
Finally a win for the Country and Conservatism.
