Yup, every day, they earn my new name for them...

Here's a pow-wow with Chief "Squats-when-peeing" from Louisianna!

If this was something the Rats could filibuster in the senate, I don't know why house republicans wasted their time trying to push it through.

We were going to lose.
If you would have preferred we lose everything instead of just this bill, I guess that is your choice.
Me, on the other hand, would prefer to get at least some of the goodies tacked onto the budget bill. There is only so much moderate Dems will take before joining in a filibuster. This would have definitely taken them over the edge.

Dead on.
The Republican cop out is to act as if this is saving America money.
But every second that circuit is not split, it is COSTING 9th Circuit Americans money, in legal fees and compliance with the dictates of these clowns. And the 9th Circuit is nearly half of the U.S.
GOP Congressmen should be publicly embarrassed, and regularly, by conservatives, who should ask them "If you are so against Americans being subjects of an activist judiciary, how come you left half the country under the thumb of the 9th Circuit?"
The GOP caved in, like they do all too often. But that doesn't mean the issue is dead.
Conservatives need to push for this again in the next Congress. And maybe it can be used against Rocky Mountain Democrats seeking reelection.
