This proposition was passed by voice vote in the House, but 14 senators objected. It is only a stopgap measure until Saturday.

(27,315 posts)I would not be shocked. There are always some people who want to make a protest vote when the bill is assured to pass.
But Boehner lost 1/4 of its caucus, which gives us the size of the crazy caucus, ready to everything rather than voting to fund Obamacare.
