The Republican leadership has already agreed with the Democrat leadership to pass yet another continuing resolution covering fiscal 2015 during the lame duck.

I know the current continuing resolution expires and has to be renewed during the lame duck, but I have not heard that there is already agreement that the next one will cover the rest of FY 2015. If the Republicans agreed to that, then they have once again ceded the ground without a fight.

Cruz fought to have the continuing resolution extend only until March 1, so that the new Congress would have a voice in the budget.

But McConnell and Boehner outgunned him.
