http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/10/15/gop-rep-shutdown-bill-within-an-hour-or-two/?on.cnn=1Nunes told CNN Chief Congressional Correspondent Dana Bash Tuesday afternoon that a bill will be seen "within an hour or two," with a vote sometime Tuesday night. The measure, Nunes said, will be very similar to the one House Speaker John Boehner unveiled to the House GOP caucus earlier in the day.
The bill is expected to raise the nation's borrowing authority through early February and fully fund the government into December. The measure also comes with a small change to the Affordable Care Act that Republicans think will be tenable to Senate Democrats: Stripping members of Congress, their staff and White House appointees and employees of their Obamacare subsidies.
Whether or not the measure will actually pass the House when it's expected to be brought to a vote Tuesday night remains to be seen.
"I don't know that we have the votes or not," Nunes said. There are those in the House GOP caucus who will vote against any bill that does not completely dismantle or defund President Barack Obama's signature legislation, he added.

Since that provision is unconstitutional, I say accept the deal, and get that part reversed in court

This is nothing but another waste of time.

Screwing their staffers for a few months until the courts overturn it is a small price to pay.
