Debate has started on Boehner's bill. Questions remain as to if he can even get enough votes within his own caucus to pass it. Doubtful.
If he does pass it, Reid said the Senate will vote it down late tonight. Boehner knows the Senate will not vote in favor of it (they sent him a letter yesterday as he insisted upon pursuing it), and the President said he would veto it.
Thanks, Speaker, for being held hostage by the loons in your party. And saying today that you have no control over if our credit rating is downgraded.
