The lawmakers signaled they'd endorse a bipartisan parliamentary maneuver to end gridlock in the House over spending.
“It is absolutely an option. Working to ensure the government remains functional and that Congress is making the legitimate choices as it relates to funding … is an important principle,” Molinaro said.
“This is stupidity, the idea that we’re going to shut the government down when we don’t control the Senate, we don’t control the White House,”Lawler blamed far right lawmakers, including member of the ultra-conservative Freedom Caucus, for the party’s inability to move forward. “You keep running lunatics, you’re going to be in this position,” he said.
The process, however, for passing a discharge petition is itself a difficult one, and would require every Democratic lawmaker in the House and at least five Republican representatives to join together to support the discharge petition. If the language of the bill contains provisions that are unagreeable to Democrats — for example, reinstituting restrictive immigration standards — it’s possible that maneuver will also fail.
To ensure we stay out of the red by the end of the year, we have a long way to go. Our future is threatened.
