Re: "I think the Law had already been extended."

Extended (once or twice, I believe), yes.

But further extensions were offered and 'on the table', there for the President to have if he wanted to keep the current laws going (while talks continued about a new law....)

So, this appears to be a 'manufactured crisis'... but I'm sure it will make good fodder for the Fall campaigns! :-)
