SCHUMER: “What if I persuaded my caucus to say I'm going to shut the government down? I'm going to not pay our bills unless I get my way. It's a politics of idiocy, of confrontation, of paralysis. (...) Shutting down government over a policy difference is self-defeating. (...) We can never hold American workers hostage again. (...) While the CR bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse. (...) Therefore, I will vote to keep the government open and not shut it down.”

BERMAN: “That was you three times in the past.”
