In reply to the discussion: Schumer says he will not support 7- or 10-day stopgap to avoid shutdown [View all]Karma13612
(4,826 posts)44. The sad part is that
More and more media consumers are cutting the cord and losing access to C SPAN.
I wish there was a way to get CSPAN without cable. But, its a Cable service/product, unlike the legacy networks which are available over the free digital airwaves (NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS).
As always, its the public that suffers.

Why that can't be, I read here on DU that Sen. Schumer and Rep. Jeffries were getting ready to cave.

Am I missing something? He's only one person. Why can't the rest of the Dems vote their conscience?

The House can easily pass the ridiculous C.R. because they will have the majority (which is needed for passage)

My point is, if Shumer can't lead, why do the other senators have to listen to him?

There was a time when those who exploited loopholes would have been shut down by the community.
