The Repubs should ensure, if they can, by letting the 45% tax rate bill passes to jam this lame duck session will stall the Dems DADT, DREAM and START.

Oh, man, that would be mean LOL. I like the idea. Then, they could kill this in the Senate and vote a clean bill without any extra death tax on it once the cavalry gets their in January.

I want those Senate RINOs to have their excuse to stall this lame duck session.

"All 42 Senate Republicans signed a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, vowing to prevent a vote on "any legislative item until the Senate has acted to fund the government and we have prevented the tax increase that is currently awaiting all American taxpayers.""

The omnibus bill failed in the Senate that would have funded the government for the rest of the year. I hope this is enough for them to stall to the very end.

The Levin Amendment failed.
