Capitol Hill Buzzes with Predictions of Government Shutdown

Byron York: “A few weeks ago Washington was buzzing with predictions that Republicans will impeach President Obama. Now, Washington is buzzing with predictions that Republicans will shut down the government.”

“Both have come mostly from Democrats facing long odds in November’s midterms, hoping the GOP might do something suicidal before voters go to the polls. For them, sheer ecstasy would be Republicans shutting down the government while keeping House offices open to draft articles of impeachment. The only problem is, well-connected Republicans insist it’s not going to happen.”
