What?s Up in Congress: Government Shutdown Appears Likely

But here's what was interesting. The Senate is now off for a week. When they come back it'll be February 28. The continuing resolution to fund the government expires on March 4. So naturally, the Senate will next take up - a patent reform bill. And in the meantime, Reid is raising the pressure on John Boehner's statement yesterday that he would not go for a short-term continuing resolution, which means a government shutdown, essentially.
