The House Leadership has been further weakened, though it's their own fault, since they always lean toward moderation and capitulation.

And when moderate republicans are disappointed and infuriated, that's good for all of us!

The House has passed well over 300 bills that the Senate has refused to bring up anyway so this was bound to go NOWHERE to begin with.

What’s even scarier is the 300 bills anyway. We don’t need any new laws period, we need to eliminate 10 of thousands of laws, get back to basics, enforce the laws that are needed and put congress back on a part time job.

The LA Times think things would be faster if we had a dictator rather than a President and a ‘rubber stamp’ congress...

How totalitarian...

As you WELL KNOW getting rid of Cantor certainly has helped. Now, at least, that IDIOT is gone.

In this case, Obama COMPLAINED about Bush signing the 2008 law that gave these kids free entry into the United States.

What did the House do? Why, they voted to overturn the law that was causing Obama the problems, and they gave him a bunch of money to play with.

So where’s the PROBLEM now?

The key part of this article is at the bottom where Corker talks about the GOP taking the Senate and he says: "Republicans will have to be responsible"

Many democrats are not worried about the GOP taking the senate and/or hope the GOP takes the senate because they are certain that the GOP can not exercise the "responsibility" to govern.

Even if they hold both houses, the GOP is so riddled with conflicts, they can't agree on anything.

And if situations arise where the GOP might unite, Obama has the rhetorical skills to "punch buttons" and "jerk strings" that drives the right wing into a "reactionary fury", forcing the right wing into conflict with the GOP moderates.

Blackburn bill is good, simple and stand alone. If the Senate ignores it or votes it doen, the Democrats own the border crisis, if the pass it, it defuses the crises. A real well done “put up or shut up” moment.
