...let’s hope any Amnesty bill is doa...

The time for an Amnesty Bill won't come until after the November election.

If there is a GOP blowout, count on Reid and Pelosi to call a lame duck session between the election and the installation of the new Congress in January.

It would actually be easier for them to pass Amnesty in this environment than before the election. They can tell all the defeated Democrats that they've nothing more to lose, they'll be rewarded with federal jobs and union sinecures...and they can insure the ascendancy of the Democrat party for a generation.

Plus, they'll get the support of RINOs like Lindsay Graham and John McCain -- especially if he's defeated in the primary. It will be an opportunity for him to poke a stick in conservative eyes one last time.

Even if we win in November, the lame duck session could be a disaster for America.

This sounds to me like you expect a rational course of action out of this regime and congress, I'm not so sure. I believe obumber, reid and pelosi are completely drunk with power and insane.

Actually, I think the Democrats wouldn't dare try it after a GOP blowout in November. Because voters are simple and would punish the Dems dearly come the following election.

No, I think BHO would tell them "elections have consequences" and put a stop to it.

Don't get me wrong, I think that many members will wish they could do it. But they won't.
