They did not want this on their laps. Now, they will have to filibuster. Already many Democrats showing their "gutless" colors. Well, Fetterman will not help. Ossoff is making noises.

without congressional approval, Democrats need to vote NO.

I think too many will vote for the CR without anything in return.
