Thursday night’s vote in the House to pass a $1.1 trillion spending bill and avert a government shutdown was seen as a win for both House Speaker John Boehner and the White House — but to conservatives it looked a little more like this:

Boehner took to Twitter soon after the vote to reassure the conservative base that passage of the #CRomnibus was all part of the plan to kill off the president’s extra-constitutional executive action on amnesty. And it was bipartisan!
With a bipartisan vote, the House has passed a responsible bill to keep the government running and fulfill the people’s priorities. 1/4

This measure puts us on track to save taxpayers more than $2.1 trillion while protecting jobs and supporting our national defense. 2/4

By the House’s action, we are setting up a direct challenge to the president’s unilateral actions on immigration next month… 3/4
— John Boehner (@SpeakerBoehner) December 12, 2014
when there will be new Republican majorities in both chambers. The Senate should act on this bipartisan legislation in short order. 4/4

Well, since he put it that way, maybe it’s time to have some faith in the speaker.

@SpeakerBoehner you think maybe in 2015 you'll actually try to stop Obama from shredding the Constitution instead of just talking about it?
