re: #315 Targetpractice

They’ll avoid a shutdown, provided Boehner is willing to override the “Hastert Rule” yet again. Like I said, it’s been made clear to him that he does so at his own peril. But we have to keep in mind that there’s actually two separate attempts by the House to foist this on the Senate. The continuing resolution contains a defund measure, the debt ceiling one contains a delay measure. Breaking the “Rule” twice? I don’t see it happening.

A good point. Shutting the gov down now to save face for the debt ceiling?
