just to make a point, that won't change a single vote.
I don't want the Senate not to consider the SCHIPs program, that expires next week. I don't want the Senate to be late on spending bills that help to fund food stamps and Medicaid and school lunches and job training programs.
I think it's foolish and shortsighted for the Senate Democrats to shut down the legislative branch just to make a point - a point that everyone already knows - a tactic that would most likely backfire on the Democrats, making them even less able to get anything accomplished.
I guess we'll just have agree to disagree.
