It is to table the Webb amendment
My msg today:
If 12-20 million Americans stop paying taxes would the Senate introduce a bill to grant us amnesty or would they enforce the laws already on the books?
Also called DeMint and Vitter to say thanks and God Bless. Sessions phone just rings and rings.
If the plan is to table all amendments then won't that limit the debate and speed up the cloture vote?
If Webb's poison pill amendment is killed, hopefully, he'll vote NO on 2nd cloture. If his amendment goes down, let's get on the phone to his offices.Quote:

They intend to kill all the amendments on both sides so as to not upset the "Grand Compromise". This should surely kill this thing.
And I think this will bring the final vote quicker.
I still say this is in our favor. Its obvious they are going to anger the people they brought to their side by "allowing amendments." For some reason I am getting a good feeling about this, and it only helps calling the offices of those up with amendments and ask "Your amendment got slammed what are you gonna vote now?"Quote:
