Now that a clean bill has been kicked back to the house, some hard core tea party conservatives are urging the speaker to toe the line and amend the bill yet again and send it back to the Senate. Prominent tea party members have been quoted as saying that if the speaker does not hold his ground his speaker ship is "effectively over." The speaker is in a tough spot. He clearly knows that his course of action is both illogical and unproductive. However, if he wants to keep his job he just may have to bow down to the extreme right wing of his party. So basically it comes down to whether or not the speaker considers his job more important than the US economy.
