Chuckle, hope you before now have considered the 2nd reply:

Surprised you ended up going to a Republican for that. And surprised that you would say

Latta's info, in fact, supports the limited court access position i've posted here. The two weeks (Latta said about 10 days) normal activity then after appropriated money runs out non-essential civil cases take a back seat. Or indefinitely delayed. So anti-DOGE cases could in a longer than normal shutdown face long delay. Musk and Trump would have salivated over that.

Also, should add, holding certainty where certainty does not exist is not always the wisest position to take. Just saying, pardner, we will never know for certain. It is too bad we will never know in absolute certainty which would have been the best path to take. You guys could be right, then again maybe not. There should be no certainty there on either side.

I still believe though that the evidence, the actual facts on the matter lean to Schumer's position, and am guessing
there are many more than we know of who agree with him. Noted that more also includes Democrat Congresspeople ..

Furthermore, Schumer was likely honoring the wishes of members who wanted him to save them from themselves. Punchbowl reported Monday that “based on our conversations with Democratic senators, many more Senate Democrats than just the nine who voted with Schumer agreed with his ultimate decision.” This is a familiar strategy in Washington, known as “vote no, hope yes.” Leadership can be a lonely job when tough decisions like this one are required. After all, a leader with no followers is just a guy taking a walk.

To be clear, Schumer’s handling of this situation was not perfect. First, if he intended to fold, he should have done so sooner and not raised expectations of fighting the House-passed GOP funding bill. Second, congressional Democrats failed to articulate clearly what they even wanted in the bill, which muddled their message. Third, Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries were not coordinated in their negotiating strategy with congressional Republicans.

But had Schumer chosen to fight, Democrats would likely have shouldered at least part of, if not most, of the blame for what could have been a protracted, painful shutdown. The bottom line is Senate Democrats were in a terrible, no-win position. The choice was to fight and shut down the government, or fold and find better ground for another day. Schumer, smartly but painfully, chose the latter. He made the right choice and took one for the team.

That again was here -- https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175964785

To be sure we understand each other, i am not saying you are wrong, but that the decision either way is not certain.
