Harry Reid has discovered a sudden sense of urgency when it comes to the Senate’s budget. After the Senate went more than four years without passing a budget on his watch, Reid has now grown impatient with Republicans for refusing to send the Senate-passed budget to conference.

If 86 days is “obstruction,” then what is 1,300-plus days?
