DreamAct: Reid wanted to move the Senate to pass the House-passed version of DREAM Act that would go straight to the President for signing. #DreamAct
I'm assuming that Sessions will be for our side

The vote will be at 11 , their time
About an hour away
The House bill gives amnesty to illegals 35 and under. The Senate bill gives amnesty to those 30 and under. Because the House bill is different than the Senate bill, the Senate has to pass it "as is" without amendements. If not, then the Senate and the house have to reconcile them, taking more time in the lame duck session. And since time is what they don't have, they want to pass it as is in the Senate and send it to the Pres. without reconciliation.
That strategy will encourage more senators to vote NO. Since it bypasses many processes.
It appears that option is dead since it was objected to
But good try Harry

McConnell giving kudos to Sam Brownback
