@mattklewis We heard a LOT of rhetoric about what the GOP would do before the election IF POTUS did this. Well they did nothing. -
@irishduke2 they should do the smart thing that results in more conservative policies. Not the emotional thing that makes us feel better. -

@mattklewis If you can't win this fight or at least pass a clean CR for 3 months which was the fall back plan guess they want that E.O. -
