[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1075462, member: 1246"] We’ll know more soon as House Republicans are scheduled to meet again at 5:15 p.m. Via [URL="http://www.rollcall.com/news/house_gop_balks_at_senate_cliff_bill_but_has_few_options_little_time_left-220457-1.html"]Roll Call[/URL]: [INDENT]House Republicans emerged from a Tuesday afternoon conference meeting showing near-unanimous opposition to the Senate-passed fiscal cliff deal and holding that without spending cuts the bill should not be brought up. [B]Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio remained relatively neutral about the Senate bill, but he told the conference he was shocked by how many Senate Republicans supported it, according to sources in the room[/B]. Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, meanwhile, gave the strongest indication yet that leadership stands opposed to passing the bill without amending it. “I do not support the bill. We are looking for the best path forward,” Cantor told reporters after the meeting. “We are looking for the best path forward and no decisions have been made.” Leadership is looking for a path forward, but most members who exited the meeting said that the next step will probably be to try to amend the bill, most likely with a measure that cuts spending, and send it back to the Senate. “I would be shocked if this bill does not go back to the Senate,” Financial Services Chairman Spencer Bachus of Alabama said as he exited the meeting [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
