Rand Paul is holding things up in the Senate over a demand for a separate vote to avoid busting the spending caps.
The House is waiting on the Senate to act.
Tick, tock.
Schumer joins him. "The difficulty here is the government will shut down."
"We have a 700-page bill that no one has read that was printed at midnight," says an angry Paul.
"I want people to feel uncomfortable," he says. "How come you were against President Obama's deficits and how come you're for Republican deficits?"
But this is a Rand Paul Moment
"I think the country's worth a debate till 3 in the morning, frankly."
"When the Democrats are in power, Republicans appear to be the conservative party. But when Republicans are in power it seems there is no conservative party."
"The hypocrisy hangs in the air and chokes anyone with a sense of decency."
That means they expect a shutdown.
