The congressional GOP has finally taken a position in its budget struggle with the Obama administration that maximizes its chances for a decent outcome. Unfortunately, it only got there after going through several other steps first, a process that may have jeopardized the advantage they should be now enjoying.

On Monday, the House passed a GOP-written continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government open, with two Obamacare-related amendments attached to it that the public strongly supports.  The first would delay the individual mandate for a year.  The second would override the Obama administration’s lawless rule giving Congress and its staff special treatment in the Obamacare exchanges.
