On Tuesday, after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) decided to allow a vote on a “clean” Homeland Security funding bill without provisions to defund President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) warned his colleagues about the dangers of caving to Obama and Democrats and hoping the courts will ultimately intervene.

Maybe Ted Cruz can drum up enough republicans to not pass it.

If there is a stay on the enactment, then the vote is really irrelevent no? The court ruling changes the complexion of things. Still why not have a vote?

“If there is a stay on the enactment, then the vote is really irrelevent no?”

That stay could be lifted at any time.

Obama desperately does NOT want to have to veto this because then Congress can say that the courts are the only remaining solution.

It isn’t called the “Spelunker’s Congress” for nothing—not with all our RINOs.

Why vote Republican? We get the same results out of Congress regardless of who is in the majority.

I thought “White Flag Congress” was a great description, but “Spelunker’s Congress” is epic!

Seriously? Like court rulings still hold weight in DC, HA! Only if the ruling favors the government’s position and the constitution and law be damned.

I wish we could talk Jeff Sessions into running for President.

I would have full confidence that he would stem the invasion and restore the rule of law.

Most of the people running I’m certain are on the payroll of The Cheap Labor Express.
Jeb, Rubio, Perry, Huckabee, Christie

Still not sure about Walker, his earlier statements are worrisome.

Cruz has been fighting for us alongside Jeff Sessions, but even he wants to increase H1b visas.

The solution is so easy. Pass a “clean bill” send it to conference, place the anti-amnesty info back in the bill and “deem” it is passed by a voice vote just like the Dems did! What’s the problem?

Yep! It’s time the RATS got a taste of their own medicine. If only the Republicans had the ‘nads to do this, or shut down the filibuster like Dingy Harry.

The regime, which reflects the commands of the oligarchs, want the court to decide because they own one or more judges on the highest bench. Roberts is barry’s bitch.

I love ya Jeff, but they are all out saying “leave it to the courts”.

They are wrong and they are the worst of cowards.
