That is exactly what they are trying to stop here. They are trying to change the law.
Thanks. I should have read the other thread first.
These senators have lost their minds.
You're so wrong, Johnnie, it's not even funny! They have the means to pass a bill into law and instead of doing so they passed a resolution that has no force of law whatsoever!
It's a meaningless act and a crude political ploy.
Senate Judiciary Committee Votes To Bar Exclusion Of Immigrants On Religious Grounds
The resolution, which doesn’t have legal authority...
Check out this idiocy...
"The adoption of the Leahy Amendment would constitute a transformation of our immigration system," Sessions, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, told the committee.
It isn't a law so it constitutes SQUAT!
“In effect, it is a move toward the ratification of the idea that global migration is a ‘human right,’ and a civil right, and that these so-called ‘â€immigrants†rights’ must be supreme to the rights of sovereign nations to determine who can and cannot enter their borders.â€
In effect, not in actuality.
Leahy won't submit an actual bill because the means to do the very thing they voted against is already enacted into law. A new bill would have to state it was repealing the law on the books drawing even more attention to just how right Trump was.
Here is another resolution of weighty importance... Bills, Resolutions
114. S.RES.114 : A resolution supporting the designation of March 2015, as "National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month".
How fitting since so many of them have their heads up their rectums anyway!
