As Barber urged House leadership to immediately end the government shutdown, his microphone was turned off by Republicans who ruled his request out of order.
Barber took to the floor of the House for the second day in a row and asked that the House immediately consider a Senate resolution that would end the government shutdown, but 15 seconds into his request, Barber was ruled out of order. As Barber continued making his point, his microphone was cut off five seconds later.
At the time, the House was debating legislation that would reopen a handful of selected federal agencies.

According to the poll, opinions of the health care law overall continue to be negative. Thirty-nine percent of Americans now approve of the health care law, but more – fifty-one percent – disapprove, similar to views in July.
