Here, John, let me show you how to work this thing. When the House votes later today on a "clean" bill to fund Homeland Security through September 30, it will likely be under Rule XXII (or 22), which will basically allow the House to reverse course on its rejection last week of the Senate's "clean" bill. Rule 22 is complicated, but it essentially stipulates that since the two chambers cannot get to a conference negotiation before DHS funding expires, the House reverses its position of disagreeing with the Senate’s legislation and concurs with it. If John Boehner and crew have done their jobs, they will have lined up enough Republicans to vote with the 188 Democrats, almost all of whom are expected to vote for the "clean" funding bill that includes no anti-immigrant riders. Make no mistake though, a successful vote today to fund DHS will be a huge win for House Democrats and Nancy Pelosi, who more-or-less backed Boehner into a corner on this by refusing to back his 3-week funding bill last week.
