    I try to not point fingers… but yes, a solid 90% of the time it’s the conservative faction holding things up.

      Well it’s basically a way to roll back spending the last Congress approved, so of course it would be a cudgel wielded primarily by conservatives.

      I’m of the opinion that the 14th amendment makes the whole process moot, but I’m no constitutional scholar.
