CAVE: Democrats Abandon Shutdown, Agree To McConnell Plan In Exchange For ... Nothing

Schumer and company agree to continuing resolution, but without an "ironclad" promise on DACA.

Democrats caved to pressure to end the shutdown Monday and voted to reopen the federal government, having gained nothing from three days of hostage-holding over immigration reform.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) confirmed the fold in a sad press conference held just following the vote.

According to The Hill, Democrats agreed to vote for Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's continuing resolution funding the government through early February, on the promise that Senate Republicans will take up an extension of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) sometime between now and February 8 . . .

. . . This means, of course, that Democrats, who held funding the federal government hostage by refusing to end a filibuster Friday night, thus causing the shutdown, gained absolutely nothing in two days of negotiations except a general promise on the part of the GOP to address border issues in the near future . . .

I predict that come February 8th - McConnell and the Republicans will once again do the ONLY thing they are good at actually doing:



An actual Budget will not be forthcoming.

Just another CR that will kick all this down to April.

And then again until July....

And then September....

You get the idea.

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

It'll take most agencies 3 weeks to get funding dispersed only to shut down again.
