Senate group signals they are near a deal on shutdown
By Jordain Carney - 01/21/18 04:23 PM EST

A bipartisan group of roughly 20 senators are signaling they are nearing an agreement to reopen the government.

Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) said the group had reached a "consensus of understanding," not an agreement, noting those two are different things.

Multiple senators that were part of the talks stressed that their negotiations are ongoing and still fluid.

But leaving a meeting held in Sen. Susan Collins's (R-Maine) office, some members expressed optimism that they will reach an understanding, if not a final agreement, that would let them move forward.

I'm sure she is willing to give the Rats more than they are asking for.

An 'understanding' deriving from a meeting in Collins' office, can't be good.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
