On the Senate floor Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) flatly rejected the House GOP’s latest plan to re-open the government and increase the debt limit.

“It’s a plan to advance an extreme piece of legislation, and it’s nothing more than a blatant attack on bipartisanship,” Reid said. “The House legislation will not pass the Senate. I am very disappointed with John Boehner, who would once again try to preserve his role at the expense of the country.”

The House Republican plan seems to be in flux after failing to attract enough conservative support during the GOP conference’s morning meeting.
