MLK day Monday. Does that effect anything?
Might be she has to cave tomorrow to open Friday. Colossal loss of face & power if she caves. If dems are splintered, and I think they are, she'll be facing a pulling votes threat from different groups anytime she puts something controversial up.
That said, I think if she put/had put the wall up for a vote it would/would have pass/ed. % That would mean, if I'm correct, that there's something really big behind her decision to hold out. She's potentially putting the livelihood of a lot of gov workers on the line, infinitesimally so if they can be RIFd. Deep shit level stuff must be behind it.
