No, the Senate cannot pass a continuing resolution (CR) using reconciliation. Reconciliation is a special legislative process under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, designed to expedite consideration of budget-related legislation. It allows certain bills to pass with a simple majority (51 votes) instead of the usual 60-vote threshold to overcome a filibuster. However, reconciliation is limited to legislation that directly affects the federal budget, such as changes to revenues, spending, or the debt limit, and it must comply with strict rules, including the Byrd Rule, which prohibits provisions that are extraneous or do not have a direct budgetary impact.
A continuing resolution, which temporarily funds the government to prevent a shutdown when appropriations bills are not passed by the start of the fiscal year, is primarily a temporary funding measure. While it involves federal spending, it is not considered a substantive change to budget policy in the way reconciliation requires. Instead, CRs are typically passed through the regular legislative process, requiring either 60 votes to avoid a filibuster or unanimous consent in the Senate.
Additionally, reconciliation is initiated through a budget resolution, which sets the framework for reconciliation bills and must be passed by both chambers. This process is not typically used for short-term funding measures like CRs, which are more procedural and time-sensitive. Attempting to use reconciliation for a CR would likely face procedural challenges, including potential violations of the Byrd Rule, as it may not meet the criteria for reconciliation-eligible legislation.
Therefore, the Senate would need to rely on the standard legislative process, requiring broader bipartisan support, to pass a continuing resolution.
Johnson has been on TV all weekend and again today saying this.
Wish he would take that douche Pat McAfee with him.
Why does that affect him now that he’s in the SEC? Wouldn’t the SEC have to suspend him? I think there is some room for a ruling from the SEC.

No, my point is it’s political suicide to be the person that put that person on a committee.

Is someone gone ask Tim?

What was your relationship with the shooter?
You sound like a huge pussy.
You want to sit in your mom’s basement and pull your pathetic pud.
