Thread: DREAM ACT SENATE COVERAGE 24-7 , HEAR IT HERE FIRST

And the final vote on this bill is the one that counts and a lot of No votes will come out because of amendments the Republicans don't like. So, it's not a done deal yet.

Yes , it will be a long debate

Keep in mind the senate has other "must do" items like tax breaks , funding the appropriations bill and extending unemployment

They don't have time to do it all

Both amends have been defeated

Please read message from W:

Reid just went over the days agenda , most of the day will be in
the food act , meetings , and Dodds farewell hoopla

We have all day to follow Williams advice and get on those phones , faxes and mails.

Reid will file for cloture on Dream Act today per C-Span

We'll see this evening

I'll be watching when they go back in session
in a few minutes

The best scenario is if he does file for cloture but loses the vote
Then its done for good

Finished the Dodd tribute and now Jack Reed is spewing how we should extend unemployment without paying for it , then he starts spewing how giving the rich tax cuts adds 70 billion to the deficit , the deficit THEY RAN UP

Keeping tuned in to these idiots

In 6 hours the unemployment bennys expire , it was purposed that the dems bill move forward , it was objected to and now Brown is talking about a sub bill

It appears this will take a while

I am very impressed with Scott Brown
Great speech

but it looks like they are going to be on this one most of the night
