House Republicans chicken out and fund Homeland Security for another week

The one-week Homeland Security funding bill the Senate quickly passed to bail out House Speaker John Boehner and keep the doors to DHS open for another week has passed in the House, with a vote of 357-60.

Leadership needed to avert another hijacking by Republican malcontents, so they brought the bill under suspension, which meant the malcontents couldn't offer amendments. But because they brought it up under suspension, it meant needing a two-thirds majority vote. That meant getting Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on board and for her to release her conference to vote for it. To do that, apparently there was some sort of promise that Republican House leadership would bring up the Senate's clean funding bill next week, and Pelosi sold it to her conference with that understanding.

Pelosi now behind 7-day CR, says Dems can then "vote for full funding next week: http://t.co/...

But wait!

. @SpeakerBoehner spox says no commitment to Dem leadership to bring up full DHS funding in one week.

We're done for this week, apparently, but next week should be very, very interesting as they go through this all over again.
