RE :”
Should that happen, the House will send another bill back. The leadership is mulling several options. At the top of the list is a revised CR that includes the Vitter amendment, authored by Senator David Vitter (R., La.), which would eliminate Obamacare subsidies for congressional staffers and members.
The leadership thinks that a final CR with Vitters language would put them on solid political ground, even if Senate Democrats resist. In that scenario, and the government shut down, Republicans would argue that Democrats shut down the government to protect their perks.” I been posting that they should do this for weeks. That must be why its brilliant HAHA. (Doesn't this CR just last to November anyway?)
This is the really low hanging fruit that Dems and Obama have no defense for.
How many in congress will oppose cutting off their own perks that they will even still get in a shutdown if nothing goes in to law?
Beat Dems

The Vitter amendment with delay is fine. Alone it is not.
