Dems didn't oppose it though, now "they do"

Maybe in the meeting they agreed to extend till dec 22, to sneak flakes bill around x-mas time

Re: Schumer: House funding bill a 'waste of time'
 

I think libertarian1776 should read the articles 44 out 48 are not supporting the extension... 52+4 = 56 votes = they can't pass it until January at least at the moment according to Chuck

Re: Schumer: House funding bill a 'waste of time'
 

they said the same thing last week that they wont support it extending it to the 22nd.

we know the numbers, we just dont know if all 44 members they will keep their word next week.

I call BS. If they add CHIP funding, more than just 4 Dems will vote for it.

Re: Schumer: House funding bill a 'waste of time'
 

Schumer and Durbin said that they are close to an agreement and we also have the support from Flake. The senate should be able to approve an spending bill with some kind of relieve for dreamers next week.

source?

Re: Schumer: House funding bill a 'waste of time'
 

Not happening. The CR has already been released. It only includes CHIP and military funding.

Re: Schumer: House funding bill a 'waste of time'
 

So how many chances we got left?

We basically don't have much leverage if they fund the CHIP for the whole year, or did they just fund it till jan 22?

Re: Schumer: House funding bill a 'waste of time'
 

If a CRomnibus passes, its over. If a CR passes til Jan 19th, its the same as it is now, more 'discussions', kick the can down the road until its too late because it's an election year. The main point is Repubs are calling Dems on the shutdown bluff. If Dems aren't willing to eventually shutdown, they have no leverage.
