Government shutdown: Senate funding measures fail again as deadlock continues

The Senate on Friday once again did not pass dueling funding bills that would have kept the three-day-old government shutdown from stretching into next week.
The latest attempts to pass both Republicans' "clean" resolution, which would resume funding at current levels through late November, and Democrats' version, which includes additional health-care funding and other measures, was expected not to succeed.
The same competing resolutions previously failed multiple times in the Senate, including on the eve of the shutdown and after it began Wednesday morning.
The shutdown is now all but guaranteed to drag on until at least Monday.

(17,023 posts)fillibuster at any time. All they need is 50 votes (there are 53 Rs). Vance can be the tie-breaking vote. Then they can pass whatever legislation they please.
The dirty little secret is, Rs don't want to pass this bill because if they did, they'd get 100% of the blame for the bad consequences of their actions.

This perhaps would be short term pain, but when Dems retake control of the Senate, it would be long term gain. No longer would liberal, progressive and common sense legislation be held hostage to the tryanny of the minority.

(161,068 posts)and even if they did, we would see abortions and same sex marriages "officially" (legislatively) banned, and all kinds of other draconian things implemented. But I expect 45 would eventually try to force Thune to do it, so I would let the GOP completely own it and not have our name attached to encouraging it (especially when you have John Roberts calling the shots).
