In the Washington Post, Dana Milbank argues that Senate Democrats are holding up DHS funding to score cynical political points:

For Harry Reid and his Senate Democrats, revenge is a dish best served bold. … just weeks into their stint in the minority, Democrats are brazenly using the same knot-tying procedures. Four times, they used filibusters to block the majority from bringing up a Department of Homeland Security funding bill that would undo President Obama’s executive orders on immigration.

Milbank concludes his article with an apt summary of Harry Reid’s dishonest actions:

"Power without responsibility: Such are the perverse pleasures of being in the minority in today’s Washington."
