and until democrats step up, there is n 60 votes, no cloture.

The GOP can suspend the rule and they don't need a single vote from the DEMs.

Invoke cluture, pass the legislation - no DEM required.

No it doesn't. Per the Constitution it just takes a majority to pass legislation (i.e. the CR).

Under the Senate rules it takes 60 votes to invoke cloture to end debate and allow the vote.

But it only takes a simple majority to change that rule.

Wasn't it Harry Reid who managed to use like a magic wand
the Nuclear Option.Back like 20 years ago.
The same Harry Reid who later decided to leave politics.
Not until he got a shinner.Said he got the black eye from
falling in the shower.
Reid managed to turn his son into a very aggressive
land grabber.

 

[Zincwarrior]

If it wasn't for the democrats, the government would be open.
It really is that simple.

This is accurate.

Update: Trump Admin, under court orders has found enough money to pay ~half of normal EBT payments. Good for them.

Do you think Reid used the nuclear option on SCOTUS nomination on his own?

Seems so with the "magic wand" reference.

Harry Reid was about as cocky a Senator as it gets.

He took his party to a new low when he baselessly accused Mitt Romney of not paying income taxes for 10 years.

Then he laughed about the lie and gloated that "it worked".

Total scumbag.

Harry Reid was the actual politician portrayed getting money and favors in the first part of Casino.

And he's not alone--Boehner, Piglosi, Schiff, AOC, Warren, McConnell--a lot of them are afflicted with the same problem.

And who has more members in Congress?

Too bad the vote isn't by simple majority. Five democrats need to pull their heads out of their asses. Or, Republicans can change the rules, use the nuclear option then vote to reinstate the rule.

Trump at 37% approval… the lowest this term. I’m honestly worried, as a two-time Trump voter.

As Trump is willing to make deals among other countries, but no deal for domestic issues as the shutdown, wet should ask, are Americans tired of it?

He talks about the filibuster instead of compromise. Even right wing senators don’t want the filibuster.

As we look at these deteriorating numbers, we have to ask ourselves: Has Trump become the face of the shutdown?

Are people confused as to why we are attacking Venezuela and want to attack Nigeria?

Will you then complain when the DEM get back in power - as they surely will at some point in the future - then change the rule for their "must pass" legislation?

Tell us your agendas. When you take over again, we would like to know in advance.

I don't support the "schumer shutdown".

Because the government isn't "shutdown".

This is why we don't have government shutdowns, we don't. We have government slow-downs.

Shouldn't we dispense with this nansy-pansy type of "partial" shutdown bull crap.

If Congress is going to shutdown the government than they should be required to actually shut it down. None of this "essential" work force bull shyte.

Shut it down and make it painful so that Congress will really hear from constituents.

Government workers (all of them) are sent home with no back pay for time missed. This includes EVERYONE.

• Air Traffic Controllers get to stay on the job until aircraft have landed, no new flights are allowed to take off or enter American air space from other countries if they took off after the shutdown time. Shutdown all government airport and train operations.
• FBI, Border Patrol, NSA, CIA, etc. - Go home. We'll call you to come back.
• Government processing of financials stops.
• No Social Security checks issued.
• No Medicare checks issued.
• No VA checks issued.
• No pay for the military.
• No pay for military retirees.
• Payment to State and School districts for everything stops.
• Federal Courts shut down.
• Federal Prisons? Lock the inmates in their cell with a weeks worth of MRE's.
• etc.

Congressional staff is sent home. The only ones allowed to work in the empty Capital Building are the actual members of Congress because under the Constitution their compensation cannot be reduced during their term of office so they are the only ones getting paid.

If a shutdown was a real shut down Congress would think twice before ignoring their responsibilities and pulling political stunts.

I wouldn't put too much faith in one poll, especially Crap News Network. My advice is not to trust their, uh, crap.
