From Politico: Washington’s shutdown blame game is already in full force – and the government isn’t even closed yet.
About 20 House Republicans gathered on the steps of the United States Senate on Sunday afternoon, a time usually reserved in the city for watching the Redskins. Instead, tourists gathered to watch Republican after Republican demanding that the Senate come back in session, accusing the Democratic controlled chamber of being “lazy” and Majority Leader Harry Reid of taking his ball and going home rather than negotiating with GOP leadership over the weekend.
The Senate toyed with coming in on Sunday — but not to pass the House’s continuing resolution that delays Obamacare and repeals the medical device tax. Leaders ultimately scrapped the idea and will move on Monday afternoon to dismiss the House’s health care provisions as Reid and President Barack Obama remain united in refusing negotiations on anything Obamacare-related to keep the government running.

Senile/Coward/Liar Reid wants to shut down the government, no matter what.
And the Senate doesn't even come into session until 2:00 in the afternoon.
And when asked about the government shutdown, Senile/Coward/Liar Reid said "This is good".
What was there for them to do? Reid and Obama already said, the ACA has nothing to do with this fight, and are non-negotiable, settled law. Why is the GOP shoe-horning it in there in the first place?
