So, what will the Republicans do? Senator Harry Reid, who has made passing an omnibus spending bill one of his top priorities of the lame-duck session, said he would consider House passage of the “cromnibus” a policy win. “That would be a big accomplishment if we could get a bill over here that would fund all the appropriations subcommittees except for one,” Reid told reporters. “I think its kind of unfortunate that theyre talking about not doing Homeland Security but that’s the way it is.” Reid added that he would reserve ultimate judgment on the legislation, until he reviewed whatever policy riders House Republicans add to the omnibus. The legislation would fund all of government through the end of fiscal 2015 with the exception of the Homeland Security, which would be funded only a few months. This sets up a fight early next year over defunding President Obama’s executive order on immigration.
