All this is designed to put Elizabeth Warren’s name in lights.
Believe me, she is going to be their candidate after Obama. The democrat forums are promoting her.
Third party
LOL!
Warren will milk her ‘opposition’ for hours of loving media coverage.
And then vote for cloture, without any of the media pointing out the hypocrisy.
This is what I get when I go to your link. Is this what the omnibus bill was named?
All Representatives are subject to re-election every two years.
There Constitution makes no provision for recall of any elected federal official.
But we have to vote GOPe or you love the Democrats.
Warren is playing Br’er Rabbit. She was posturing as opposed to lure irritated republicans into supporting the bill. She will bluster, she will argue and then she will vote for cloture, where she will vote against the bill (it will pass the senate).
LOL! (Another person asked the same question earlier).
Yes that was the title of the original bill that was gutted and replaced with the omnibus.
I believe there’s a reason they have to keep the original title.
Are you certain this is a vote on the CR bill? The title suggests otherwise ...

QUESTION: On Motion to Concur in the Senate Amendment with an Amendment
BILL TITLE: An Act to require the Secretary of the Interior to assemble a team of experts to address the energy needs of the insular areas of the United States and Freely Associated States through the development of energy action plans aimed at promoting access to energy
ya boner is terrible, but he had a lot of help from idiots.
goodness gracious how do they give up all their power before we even begin?
this is just crushing.
This bill actually has removed money from several particularly odious things (the IRS, for example) and has limited others to funding through February, 2015, since by then there will be a new House and a new Senate, and these issues can come up again.
It’s surprising that they were able to pass it, because Pelosi was saying the Dems would refuse to vote for it. Guess Pelosi ain’t what she was.
The Dems realized that if they didn’t pass it, they’d be the ones accused of shutting down the government (which is what Obama threatened).
It’s certainly better than I thought it would be, and the key thing is that it really provides only temporary funding to things where we don’t have the numbers to get it through - or override a veto if we do - until the new legislature is sworn in.
Not sure if there’ll be a cloture vote... may be exempted from that.
Thanks for making that point. The truth hurts. Those of us who saw this coming and tried to rally the troops were dismissed as kooks as the people who could have stopped it went back to their preferred form of popular culture mental masturbation.
I guess it's much easier to vote against something and do what you constituents actually want when your vote doesn't matter!
My rep, Bill Flores in the end voted no... but if he had voted no on sending it to be voted on earlier he could have stop it then!
Now he will run around saying how he voted against it, when he was part of the group that allowed the vote to pass it to be taken to begin with!
That photo is somehow even sadder.
Boner and Opie - What A Team !!!
Better idea - the moral high ground is NOT to pay one more dime in federal taxes - DO NOT FILE A FEDERAL TAX RETURN! Stop funding these Marxists. They have shown themselves to be reckless, unjust and immoral. They have repeatedly proven themselves criminals, unworthy of our trust or our support.
If we are truly dedicated to the task of rescuing our nation from the clutches of these faithless oligarchs, then we will STOP putting money into their till - otherwise, we are being COMPLICIT in the destruction of our country.
Continuing the funding of this utterly incorrigible federal government will make civil war unavoidable.
