How about a 3 week DHS Extension that Required Senate go to Conference - anyone on FR support that?

The optics look really bad without the House sending something to the Senate. If I were Speaker I'd try and send a bill that required Senate go to conference - that would make them look bad if they failed to agree - what say you?

I am perfectly OK with shutting it down.
Shut the whole damn thing down.
Let the chips fall where they may.

Are you aware that Bonehead gave the RATS everything they wanted?

Are you one of those people who likes passing bills for the sake of passing bills?

Did you like the Cromibus bill they rammed thru in the lame duck session too?

In theory it might not be a bad idea, but the reality of sending it to conference is that the exalted leaders in the Senate will pretty much walk all over the House reps and the end result will be pretty much be the Senate version.

No amnesty. No funding. Period.

If Congress passes anything, the judge could use it as a reason to drop the temporary order and kill the case.

There is no shut down. There is absence of appropriation to permit existence.

In effect, there is no longer a DHS........ poof, it is ended. Now then, what is needed and what is not needed.? The status quo ante is no longer valid

it’s a good thing

What about sending the original House bill back to the Senate? Approve it in conference and it would only need 51 votes.

I see two options; 1. Stand your ground or 2. Sell out to Obama.

Just shut it down, offer funding bills that dismantle many portions thereof.

Here's what I'd like to see:

Go to conference and pass a bill that defunds amnesty.

Vote out the filibuster rule alla dingy harry

Send the bill to the president and let him shut down the government.

And wait.

Shut it down and drive a stake in its heart.

But to your point. Either pass a DHS funding bill using the nuclear option in the senate that defunds Barry’s illegal amnesty or just cave and pass a clean funding bill. Whats a 3 week or 1 week stall going to do. Its ridiculous. Fight or cave.

I’m not ok with anything that funds Obama’s amnesty. Why would they use the people’s money to fund something the people have made clear they’re against.

It’s a slap in the face. If Republicans would start telling the people what’s at stake here, ssn’s, driver’s licenses, IRS refunds for ILLEGAL aliens, maybe they’d win support. Instead they operate in secret almost as much as Obama.

Tell the sheeple what this is about. Scream it from the rooftops over and over again.
