It was too much for Democrats and even Republicans to bite their tongues over....

If your senator is having a temper tantrum over this, they are not fit for office. Illegally giving amnesty to criminals is more important than going on vacation. Shame on them for not taking this seriously.

At least some senators are more worried about their country than losing a few days off.

Progressive Republicans don’t want a vote on Obama’s amnesty any more than the Dems do. Even less, probably.

If Congress had been doing their jobs for the last 20 to 30 years, they wouldn't be in this mess.
They need to put more mirrors in the place when the finger pointing begins.

Sen Cruz will be putting all of them on record soon about whether or not that OATH they took meant anything to them.
Point of Order vote soon, 51 votes defeats it.

A democrat, McCaskill; Ted Kennedy’s best friend, Hatch and the remaining half of the Maine RINO twins, Colliins are upset. And that’s supposed to be disturbing to me? I agree with you. It’s good that they are annoyed. I wish I could annoy all three of them out of office.
