An update on whats happening in the Senate today: While the Senate considers the CRomnibus spending bill, all weve done was simply request to hold a vote on a measure to stop President Obamas amnesty. Instead, Majority Leader Harry Reid is holding a series of votes today for the sheer purpose of blocking that vote on Obamas amnesty. Harry Reids last act as Majority Leader is to, once again, act as an enabler for President Obama, by blocking this vote on the Presidents amnesty. He is going to an embarrassing length to tie up the floor to obstruct debate and a vote on this issue because he knows amnesty is unpopular with the American people, and he doesnt want the Democrats on the record as supporting it. No one wants a government shutdown. We are only seeking a vote. As soon as the Majority Leader allows a vote on a measure to stop President Obamas amnesty, we can and should move forward on this bill to fund the government. If he does not, then we will continue to insist upon regular order and use every tool at our disposal to ensure there is a vote.
