I finally got a long response from Senator Durbin, to my letter requesting that he not vote for cloture, and force the Republicans to either do something about the possibility of government shutting down, or let it shut down. It was the same self-justification response we got from Schumer, don't rock the boat, this bad thing is better than that bad thing, and so on.

The Democrats do not have the majority in either house, so the government shutting down, based on a bill not one single Democrat had helped to write, would have all been Congress and Trump's fault. Bold action, Mr. Durbin. You were also opposed to those who wanted to break the filibuster to pack the court when we had the majority and could have done it. We would not be in this mess now if that had been done.
