Nancy Pelosi spoke for eight hours yesterday ā and even some of her own colleagues donāt quite know why. She took advantage of a rarely used privilege which allows House caucus leaders to hold the floor indefinitely. Pelosi insisted that she would keep talking until Paul Ryan agreed to schedule a vote on a DACA compromise and would block any attempt to pass a budget until he did.
That sounded great ā¦ right up until her negotiating partner Chuck Schumer announced a budget deal without linkage to the ādreamersā issue in the middle of her filibuster. Now Pelosiās colleagues wonder whether she intended to move the issue at all, or whether she was covering her behind after selling them out.
Itās difficult to imagine that Pelosi and Schumer werenāt keeping each other informed on exactly what they were doing.
Even House Dems Wonder: What Was The Point Of The Pelosi Filibuster?
