RE :”If Boehner brings the bill to the floor, it doesn't need anywhere near a majority of Reps to support it.”

but he wont without GOP majority support. So amnesty will die.

I find it truly ironic that Bohner was certain to bring a Senate CR to the floor and pass it with Pelosi votes, yet the delusional fantasy by many here was “Just keep those phone calls up and it wont happen’, when it was absolutely sure to happen.

But here is a rare case where he vowed to not do what you claim he will, yet the *conventional*wisdom* seems to be the exact opposite of what he will do once again.

He's not going to do it. Its not a government shutdown.

That's the hope, but it is not a fact. Boehner still is promising an immigration bill in this Congress. There are rumors that Boehner may not run in 2014. I don't trust Boehner or Cantor or Ryan or McCarthy or Goodlatte.

Boehner has done it other times as well. He despises the Tea Party.

I am skeptical of his vow. So are Steve King and Lou Barletta who have said the same thing in meetings I have attended. The pressure from their corporate paymasters is enormous. This thing is far from dead.
