We’re less than four hours away from a government shutdown, and it seems that there is no plan to stop that from happening. Both sides seem to say that there’s no way a shutdown will actually take place, but there’s still no word from Republican House leadership about what, if anything, the House will vote on thus far.
The only people who appear to have a plan are Steve King and Michele Bachmann.
There’s holdup from conservative Republicans, who are mad about the CRomnibus (yuck) not going far enough against Obama’s immigration action, and holdup from liberal Democrats, who are mad about the anti-Dodd/Frank provision the GOP inserted.
Meanwhile Dems are in a caucus meeting where there seems to be a lot of division. Our reporter Sahil Kapur is on the scene:
I asked a Republican congressman what’s going to happen. He said he had no idea and started asking me what I knew.
