    From the NR blog:

    Another meaningless gesture. If they were serious about these type of things, they would put them into a continuing resolution. Just like they won't seriously try to defund Obamacare. They put stuff that pleases the base in stand alone bills they know will fail, and continue Washington's business as usual.
