Was the government shut down by the Republicans in 1995 to defund a law that had already been passed?
I see no reason to believe the Republicans, if they succeed this time, won't do it again the next time a law is passed that they dislike. And again. And again. That piecemeal approach to funding would quite likely become the norm, as opposed to a more comprehensive approach involving negotiations, debate, and a final product.
