LIVE on C-SPAN2: Senate Session

[butterdezillion]

I don’t tweet, but hopefully they’ve already thought of these things. A few days ago somebody was saying that they’ve been getting stand-alone CR’s ready to go. I hope they pull them out and get them sent to the Senate so that very few people even have to notice that the government isn’t funded.

[matt04]

Between him and Obama, I can’t tell what is worse.

[TLI]

final vote yes 54 - 46 no

[Jane Long]

Dang...I missed that. Would’ve loved to see McShame and Cruz having a laugh. Cruz could use it to show his civility against the, er, elder statseman.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

President orders a quorum call.

[Jane Long]

Yes, hope they’ve done this and have them (stand alone CR’s) ready to go. We’ll see.

[SERKIT]

So Dingy Harry will dominate the 11 o’clock (10 o’clock) news hour with his special lil’ speech. I can hardly wait. Blah blah, Republicans shut down the gubmint, blah blah.

[MikefromOhio]

The democrats own this entire train wreck.

They do indeed. You know, and as a caveat, Obamacare is going to be a huge failure, if the GOP were electorally smart, which again they are NOT, they should let Obamacare go through.

Think about it - what could guarantee GOP majorities for the next 20-30 years? Obama's legacy failing. What would prevent a Hildebeast Presidency? Obamacare failure.

Sometimes you have to let things happen, because that's the only way people will learn. I have to do it with my kids from time to time. Apparently now Congress needs to do it to the Democrats and all of the people that voted them in.

[RedMDer]

He’s a criminal and should be in jail.

[Jane Long]

quorum call - A call of the roll to establish whether a quorum is present. If any senator “suggests the absence of a quorum,” the presiding officer must direct the roll to be called. Often, a quorum call is terminated by unanimous consent before completion, which permits the Senate to use the quorum call to obtain a brief delay to work out some difficulty or await a senator’s arrival.

[machogirl]

Is my Senator calling Senator Cruz a Hobbit?

[onyx]

Thank you so much!

[matt04]

I had Chris Dodd. ‘Nuff said.

[butterdezillion]

Can they fund only the things that are Constitutional and then allocate all remaining tax monies to go toward debt reduction? That way there would not be any money left for Obama to claim was necessary for “critical services”. Maybe we could get back to Constitutional governance after all...

[machogirl]

ditto that butter

[Viennacon]

Manchin, Heitcrap, and the other turds need to be held to account.

[machogirl]

Some wanted the First Term of Barry to go through so that the Presidency returned Republican in 2012. The Dems lined up their ducks in a row, and 2012 didn’t happen. I believed that our Country would possibly survive one Barry term, but two? I have my doubts. (sadly)

[RedMDer]

Yep.

[Viennacon]

McLame was probably informing Cruz that he had wet his Depends. John is 180 yeara old after all.

[SERKIT]

HEADLINE: Democrat Senate votes to shut down the Federal Government effective at midnight.

News at 11: Harry Reid projects the shutdown onto the Republicans.
