Sessions, Cornyn and I think Dorgan deserve credit IF it’s killed for the second time in two years. But I don’t trust this Congress not to try and take it up again when they think no one is looking. just because reid said he’d pull it, doesn’t mean he will.
Sessions has been great from start to end though. Dorgan’s amendment was poisen to the business lobby. And Cornyn unlike Kyl has actually hung tough. I must admit some surprise. While he and Kyl are more liberal then I am on a guest worker program, I would have pegged Cornyn as the one to jump if either did to the kennedy/mccain/bush bill sell out.
Glad I was wrong about him. As for Kyl, he just proved little good comes from Arizona Senators. The longer they serve, the greater possibility they’ll turn on us. From Goldwater to McCain. Now him.
Don’t write off Kyl. He made a mistake. I don’t think he’ll make any more. And to compare him in any way to McClame is wrong: Capt. Queeg was bizarre after just a few years. Kyl has been reliable.
