Some seem to have great diffuculty grasping a rather simple concept so I will simplify it even more. Look at it like this: Today is not election day so none of us can vote.

Well if a bill is not brought to the floor of the senate by the majority party, likewise no one can vote on it. So if the majority party don't want a bill to pass they don't bring it to the floor. That is why the Republican party is totally responsible for the senate amnesty, independent of who the patsies are.
