The thing that really needs to happen is going back to what the incoming majority said, they need to get back to regular order. If they go back impact of 13 bills it would take to fund the government, everybody can see who voted for it. To put what amendment up, and let the president passed it or veto it. I hope it is a more mature and responsible congress we will see emerging in the next two years. I think emblematic of this situation is this john boehner challenge today.
