I’m afraid this affords Boehner another chance to cave.
It gives them a week to fill the airwaves with the truth. Get the public on our side, tell them what Obama and the Democrats want to use their tax dollars for, to fund illegals, to give illegal immigrants all the trappings of citizenship so they can’t be distinguished from citizens.
Tell the world the Dems are only doing this for votes, hundreds of thousands of votes they’re buying with our money.
Why doesn’t the senate need to pass it too?
Thank goodness
Now I can sleep,
I was terrified that at midnight shutdown time all the ISIS terrorists would attack everywhere here with the DHS shutdown.

Nancy Pelosi figuratively has not blink since she ah been the leader of the Democrats in the House. Literally, she blink’s ever 4 or 5 seconds. her eyes look like semaphore signals.
Seriously, what we are watching is Kabuki Theater, but with a difference this time. I think this time we are watching the beginning of the end of the Republican majority in Congress. I think this just may the crack that leads to a fracture that leads to a complete break up.

Nancy is too Botoxed up to blink.
I’m betting on Boehner’s caving. He wants this Presidential Constitution breaking to proceed but he had to make a show of resisting for a short time. Did he not intend to give the Sultan what the Sultan wants he would not have allowed this one-week extension. He is buying time to try to look good.
Make the left buckle, bend and route the ba$tards!
No money for demographic warfare by Obama!
I was wondering - IIRC the Texas Judge told the 26 States that they had until next Monday to respond to the docs the Admin filed after his ruling for cease and desist. Is it possible they agreed to the 1-week extension to see what the judge rules (though I’m not sure that he’ll rule again that quickly) and not be accused of a “shutdown”? I read on another FR thread that Sherriff Joe’s attorney and Ted Cruz have both provided letters to the Judge wrt the fact that they think the Admin is not following the Judge’s cease and desist.
The hapless Republicans have again torpedoed their own plan of attack....of course that was the establishments plan all along!!!
Yea!!! We are safe for another week!! Yea!!!

The senate failed. The job was a simple one. When the Dems refused to allow debate on the clean DHS bill (the one that funded ALL legal actions in DHS), they should have just said “The House passed, and the Senate Republicans are ready to pass, the DHS funding bill. The Democrats stand opposed to funding unless they can get money for illegal programs. So, until the Democrats come to their senses, we are moving on to other things”.
But by passing their full funding bill, they made it so it was the HOUSE that was not making the final vote, instead of the democrats.
That said, I prefer this 1-week funding to the 3-week funding. 3 weeks was long enough for Obama to sign contracts to implement his illegal plans, even IF we later forbid funding (see the DC marijuana example, where DC managed to do all the spending to set up their plan before the congress got around to refusing any “more” money be spent).
Now the original bill should go to conference. And we’ll get half of what we wanted, if they do it right — the 2012 dream components won’t get defunded, but the 2014 will. And then both house and senate will have to either pass or fail the bill, with no opportunity for amendment.
All because of the Senate. And that is the GOOD result. What is the point of having a majority in the Senate if Reid is still allowed to dictate the terms of bills? I don’t remember the republican minority EVER getting away with telling the democratic house what they had to pass.
