If they do it via a stand-alone process, Mitch filibusters the CR and shuts down the government. Check. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 07:25 11
- I'm not sure what you mean here. They can pass the debt ceiling raise through reconciliation, and bypass the filibuster. - Inigo Sep 23, 07:33 5
  - So they burn their reconciliation bill and Mitch wins. - znufrii Sep 23, 07:35 4
    - So, they shut down the government, default on our debt, and Mitch still wins. - Inigo Sep 23, 07:42 3

- We should go back to making them actually stand there and filibuster the bill. Make them do the work instead of just saying it. - Krusty Sep 23, 07:28 4
  - But that would cut into fundraising time and we can't have that! -- nm - spamlet Sep 23, 07:52 1
    - I have a way to get rid of the need for that too! -- nm - Krusty Sep 23, 07:55
  - I go back and forth on this. Luckily, it's not up to me. :-) (This article from the Brennan Center has me leaning toward abolish.) -- (link) - mara Sep 23, 07:48 1
