When one side has refused to even attempt to negotiate, or even include the other side in any part of the process at all, desire needing their votes to pass it...You can very easily lay the blame on the Republicans.

Especially when Republicans are bragging about all the crimes they think they get to commit while the government is shut down

Not to mention that they have already suspended the filibuster three times already, there is no reason they couldn't do it again for this.

Those were for different things. The issue, as always is, if this backfires and they lose the Senate, them it's easier to remove their bullshit. And Republicans have heavily relief on obstruction of Congress for the last few decades
