Schumer: Democrats will block spending bill if it includes Homeland Security funding

[ancianita]

10. It only takes one Democrat -- Schumer, or MN's Klobuchar or Smith, or others who are deciding against funding DHS...

Nevada Sens. Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto, who were two of the eight Democrats who voted against their party to end the 43-day government shutdown last year, both said Saturday that they will not support the measure funding DHS. Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, another one of those eight Democrats, already said Friday he would not support funding DHS.
... other Democratic senators on Saturday said they would not support funding DHS, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Mark Kelly of Arizona, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, Brian Schatz of Hawaii, Mark Warner of Virginia, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Andy Kim of New Jersey and Alex Padilla of California.

Ten Democratic senators say they will not vote to fund DHS.

ONE U.S. Senator can effectively block a bill from coming to a vote through
-- a "filibuster" or
-- by placing a "hold" on legislation.

Under Senate rules, a single senator can initiate a filibuster (or threaten one), requiring a supermajority of 60 votes to invoke cloture, end debate, and move to a final vote.

I think they know that Americans feel enough solidarity with MN to make the sacrifice. And I believe Senate Democrats will be in solidarity with the MN senators.
