Dereliction of Duty

This morning on Meet the Press, Sen. Chuck Schumer said the following about the plan of the House Republicans to pass a short-term debt ceiling deal if Senate Democrats would pass a budget:

"We're going to do a budget this year and it's going to have revenues in it. And our Republican colleagues better get used to that fact," Schumer added hours before President Barack Obama began his second term, which officially began at noon Sunday and will be heralded with celebrations around the capital city a day later.

Good, I am glad that the Senate will finally do their constitutional duty and actually deign to pass a budget, which is something they haven't done since 2009.  I look forward to "get[tting] used to" the Senate Democrats doing what they were supposed to be doing all along.
