Yeah. Effective til next time this comes up for public debate. In a new Congress.
Question: Why did Michelle Bachman "retire?" Was she out of ammo, or what?
As for that darling person Louis Gohmert: What's his excuse for acting like a total ninny? (IMHO, FWIW) for aping such absurdity?
Do you think that Louis Gohmert has a crystal ball, whereby he can know, infallibly, in advance, that "Congress is not going to defund Homeland Security?" And he KNOWS this — HOW???
Gohmert is a very good, basically sound man, IMHO. It seems he represents many people who have a bad case of the jitters nowadays regarding the American future. At least such people as are paying attention to recent "political" developments. I trust that Gohmert would really like to help resolve such difficulties....
Notwithstanding, I do not find what he has done so far particularly helpful....
And Michelle is off the stage now....
My point, Betty, is that my post was not analysis. It was reporting the words of House members who have inside information and insider, informed opinions.
So, in terms of my insider credentials or your insiders credentials, it really doesn’t matter much if Bachman is retiring or Gohmert doesn’t pass muster with some. What matters is that they ARE members of the House and aware of much that we non-insiders simply don’t know.
And in terms of months and sessions of Congress, to run a spending authority all the way to the end of the fiscal year (Sep 2015) is to take away from the authority of the new congress in crucial money matters. That is not conjecture. Assuming the Senate passes this CRomnibus, Boehner and crew have made the new Congress less powerful.
So, have you ended with the DA, or was that ongoing through each post?
