The House of Representatives gave the Senate more time to approve a $1.1 trillion spending bill on Friday, passing a stopgap measure that will keep the government running until Wednesday, but a conservative revolt in the Senate late Friday night threw that stop gap measure into limbo and is forcing the Senate to come to work Saturday to continue its work.

After Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-KY, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV, agreed to postpone the highly anticipated vote until Monday, conservative Republicans objected to the bipartisan leadership plan to take the weekend off before the vote.

When Sen. Reid went to the floor and tried to establish the spending bill vote for 5 p.m. on Monday, Sen. Mike Lee, R-UT, objected to Reid's motion, saying he wanted a vote on defunding President Obama's executive action on immigration.

If this bill does no pass this session of congress, republicans will have their turn at writing a new on next year. The defunding of the presidents executive order on immigration will be just one of the things they will put in the bill along with defunding of Obamacare, and eatery other thing they can think of to help the 1% and hurt the rest of the country. There is no way a new bill written by republicans will be better than the one they have now. Yes, the one now has a lot to be unhappy about, but just think of all the things they WILL put in a new one that we will be unhappy about.
