The President has shut down the Government. and he is choosing what services he will permit the American people to enjoy and what services they will be denied. even though this House and the Senate sent the authority for this Government to function to the President yesterday. There is no need for this. Under his definition of necessary services we saw NASA launch the space shuttle this morning. but the Statue of Liberty is closed to Eagle Scouts. Why permit Americans to visit our preeminent symbol of freedom when the President is acting like a ruler most of the immigrants fled away from? This is a day of disgrace for the President. but it need not be. He should stop this attempt at running the Government himself. contrary to the Constitution. and permit the Congress to write a budget.
