Agreed.
However, I actually think Reid and 0bama missed a golden opportunity by turning down the GOP proposed one year delay.
Now they have to answer questions about all the incompetency and disastrous effects of the law clear until the elections.
And votes like this will just continue to put the dems on the defensive.
Delaying the pain until after the midterms would likely have led to bad election results for us and therefore perpetual and endless pain from this disastrous law.
Now the dems own it and can’t escape the consequences. The GOP-E handed them a couple of life lines (which I nervously hoped they wouldn’t take because of their own pride and stupidity).
Reid has given the GOP a sledgehammer to swing away with until the law is shattered into a billion pieces IMO.
That said, if I were Speaker there wouldn’t be Capitol police or secret service funding until the law is repealed.
I wouldn’t be playing around with fake “shut downs”.
