CRomnibus Drama: With United Democrat Caucus Threatening to Shut Government Down, GOP Establishment Scrambles for Votes
One irony here, as @noahrothman points out, is that the Democrats are making the same sorts of arguments about a shut-down that Republicans did in 2013 -- that is, that they have to shut the government down to forestall a worse outcome -- and, get this, the media has no problems with this sort of progressive-minded shut-down.
The CRomnibus might wind up failing.A $1.1 trillion bill to keep the government open appeared to be teetering Thursday after House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) announced her opposition and the package narrowly survived a procedural vote. The House went into recess shortly after 2 p.m. after the debate on the bill had concluded, something that could signal GOP leaders aren't sure they have the votes necessary to pass the bill. ... Conservative Republicans are balking at the bill, meaning the GOP will need Democratic votes to send it to the Senate. But liberal Democrats are outraged over language that changes the Wall Street reform law and are demanding that it be stripped from the package. Pelosi in a floor speech Thursday afternoon harshly criticized the language on Wall Street and a separate provision allowing wealthy political contributors to greatly increase their annual donations to political committees. "It will not have my support," Pelosi said. "This is a moral hazard. We're being asked to vote for a moral hazard."Hey remember when the GOP objected to ObamaCare on similar grounds? Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren is adopting the Ted Cruz role of leader urging shutdown. Is the GOP considering pushing the whole debate off, authorizing only a short-term funding bill for the whole of the government? I don't see how that addresses the concerns of the anti-amnesty stalwarts. Either way, whether long-term or shorter-term, you're still funding amnesty.

Right now, the only bill that should be passed is one that provides funding until after the new Congress is seated.
Hell, I'll even grant funding remains at current levels until March 1, 2015. Because I'm a giver.

One love

It is so large, with so much crap, we don't have any idea what is in it.
And there is no way any Member of the Congress can know EVERYTHING that is in it...
We've seen the results of what these overly large, overly complicated bills are (exhibit 1, Obamacare)... and it is NEVER good....
Because the STAFFS who actually write the Bills, all have an Axe to grind...

The other classic Democratic gambit in such negotiations is to promise votes in future for things that run counter to their own wishes and agenda. Then not actually deliver those votes when the future actually arrives.
They burned Reagan with TEFRA in 1982. Said if he'd raise taxes, they'd cut spending "later". Never happened.
Burned Reagan again in 1986 with Simpson-Mazzoli. Give amnesty and votes to millions of new Democrats, and they'd vote to secure the border "later". Of course "later" never arrived.
Burned Bush The Lesser (as distinct from Bush The Lesser Still) in 1991 by saying that if he'd raise taxes, they'd cut spending "later". You all know the drill by now.

Time to remind ourselves here that Obama handpicked a Secretary of Energy who said it was imperative to get gasoline prices up to "European levels", i.e., eight or nine bucks a gallon.
A normal political candidate would have been incinerated by that. High gas prices are one of the worst political toxins that exist. Trying as a matter of policy to deliberately raise gas prices? A third-rail decision.
But of course Obama wasn't a normal candidate. He had a media who had shifted from their normal quiet Democratic bias to outright open propagandizing, and he had GOP opponents who were scared to harshly attack him for fear of being called rayciss. So, America's legions of low information voters never found out about his high gas price plans.

The bank provision is completely ridiculous. If I understand correctly, it keeps investment derivatives within the government insured banking branch of large financial institutions. Dodd-Frank shifts derivatives out of government backed entity into another entity. Assigns risk to the bank, not the taxpayer.
Leadership gives taxpayer money to banks (implicitly) before opposing amnesty.

Since life has been irremediably spoiled for the believer, he has relatively little hesitation about spoiling it for others. This gives him an advantage. He can be unscrupulous under the disguise of idealism. His self-righteousness permits him to convince himself that he is destroying people for their own good.
Perfectly describes the fanatic tools destroying everything as the Goebbels pat themselves on the back because they felt it their duty to unleash volcanic passions, outbreaks of rage, to set masses of people on the march, to organize hatred and despair with ice-cold calculation. - ibid

At that point, let him decide what he wants to veto -- 'cause if he vetoes something, the agency isn't funded until a replacement bill is passed and hits his desk. If Obama wants to say, "no, I will not sign a bill the directs the DOJ to stop ginning up racial tensions," then the DOJ can send everybody home while congress thinks about that.

Also on Wednesday, the Pentagon said it had closed its last detention facility at Bagram airfield, the largest U.S. base in Afghanistan, with the transfer to Afghan custody of two Tunisians and the release of a Jordanian.
The U.S. military had rushed to empty the small jail of prisoners it would no longer be allowed to keep in Afghanistan when the mission for U.S.-led force there ends later this month.

BTW, as a result of the lawsuit, the lawyers got a total of about $1,000,000. The three main clients got about $10,000 each and the rest of the class got coupons, which it isn't clear that anybody actually redeemed.

When one stunt starts to fade, the Left fabricates yet another fake crisis?

I actually don't care what the law requires because I'm not sure how a law that requires Congress to pass a budget applies to a new Congress. I'm not sure such a law is constitutional.
But I get the political benefit of requesting a budget.

How can one Congress order another Congress to do something, specifically related to spending money? That seems like something that is in the purview of each specific Congress.

I'm not even going to get into the Constitutional issue.
What do you think actually happens when every two years a new Congress declares all laws passed under the previous law null and void?
Or let's say they don't declare ALL laws null and void, but rather just ones they "like" in a completely random fashion?
What's the likely result?

The difference is this is a law that is directed at them and only them and basically ordering Congress to do something that it has sole Article 1 power over - that is to appropriate money.
Just because one Congress passed such a law for political purposes doesn't mean future congress' have to abide by such a law.
Not saying you can't get political mileage out of it, but for me it is a silly law.

No. Courts have always upheld this.
However, there are practical considerations in doing so wholesale and frequently.

The 'leadership', from one session of Congress, to the next, may choose to re-visit a bill (or an issue), but 'binding'..? No.
Posted by: CPT. Charles at December 11, 2014 06:28 PM (/mTq0)
No.
They can't pass a law that says, "Yo, Next Congress, we just passed a law that says you must pass a bill that this session wants you to pass in your session."
The bills passed in one session are law (if signed by Executive) and the Law of the Land until a) The Judicial rules it Unconstitutional or b) a subsequent Legislative session writes new law to override that which already exists.

Boehner isn't even good at being a RINO. why wouldn't he just pass a short cr until february with Dem support? It really boggles the mind.
I don't mind a shutdown but it needs to have a message and purpose not "I cant control these crazy right wingers".
they have to pass a cr minus amnesty tonight. The script is already written for the morning bozos.
