I'm starting to see this more as Harry Reid vs. the Constitution. Look at this comment, will ya!

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., called the Republican effort a "wacky idea" that would simply "cherry-pick some of the few parts of government that they like."

So, what Harry Reid is saying is that the only way that the Senate will agree to fun ANY of the Government is if the House sends them one big bill that has everything in it funded at current levels.

In other words, the House has no function in deciding where to spend money, they are on auto-pilot now.

That's not what the Constitution lays out as their respective roles though, is it.

When you look at it that way it's about more than government shutdowns now, it's about whether the House has any power.

Make the Senate pass an annual budget and take it to a reconciliation committee with the House's budget.

Demand a return to regular legislative order. No more continuing funding resolutions.

Demand that Harry Reid do his Constitutional duty!
