Process you go through. fast forward five years. there is no line item for daca in the spending bill. that is now how it works. when you begin to pair spending bills and these types of issues that dont go through the normal appropriations process, a lot of people come out looking bad as a result of that because you are kind of making requests unusual and difficult to satisfy from the justification of going through the spending process. appropriations process. it is strange all around. it has bee...

My priority, chris, is finding a way forward to this. im more optimistic after yesterday that ive been in a long time because we had 20 senators in the room, republicans and democrats listening to each other talking not just about how to get through this issue but how to get back to an appropriations process that works. on the senior democrat on the subcommittee that funds make more beanies on the office including the federal judiciary in the department of treasury and all federal property and w...

Wolf blitzer said the republicans are in control, the house, senate and white house and why would they shut down the government? i think the democrats hope the american people wont know its the senate democrats filibustering this. as you said unfortunately it takes 60 votes in the senate to do any of this stuff. i found it interesting that senator schumer said we should do an appropriations process. guess what? the house passed all the appropriations bill and sitting in the senate since septembe...

Let me ask you, because i think theres important questions about the responsibility factor here. you said yesterday, as we talked about in the panel, and i dont know if you heard, that whats missing in this conversation is the complete dysfunction of congress, you said. you didnt blame democrats, you said congress. sounds like you are also putting blame on republicans, too, right? >> hallie, i think the appropriations process has been broken for decades. >> you blame republicans for that in part...

Wheres the president, whats he doing? why isnt he having meetings at the white house? why isnt he going to the hill? >> step back for a minute, the white house submits a budget in february to start the appropriations process. that process is supposed to be completed by september 30th, as dave hawpy was talking about the dysfunction in congress, thats what our administration does. weve continued to have continuing resolutions one after another. we are frustrated in this process, too, but when nan...

Let me ask you this. how -- isnt there -- isnt there a way you could codify the protections that the obama justice department put in there? >> there is. certainly, chuck, something we continue to look at. i gathered about a dozen of my colleagues in the senate in my office yesterday. we had a sdfrdiscussion how to forward. approach through the appropriations process, whether its looking at long-term negotiation, adopt that federalist state-by-state approach is something to consider. frankly, thi...
