As Expected
The Senate has tabled [essentially removed] the House Amendments to the Continuing Resolution, which means they will vote later today on the same resolution they have already sent to House.
It is up to the House, as it always has been.
Boehner can either send the Senate version to the floor for a vote, or the government starts shutting down. It is John Boehner’s choice.
[Note: I found out about this on the BBC, and verified via the Congressional Votes link under Sources in my right side bar. The US media has apparently not noticed yet, as they are busy interviewing House Republicans.]
