Couldn’t they pass whatever bill they want in the Senate, then have the bill come out of conference defunding amnesty? That way they only need 51 votes to pass. Or they could do like the dems did with obamacare.

... the vote was 98-2 and MIKE LEE was part of the 98.

This was only a vote to DEBATE the bill .... Mike Lee is one of the few good guys.

the article I read said they expected the part that blocked funding would be stripped out.

with mc connel as leader that will be the goal.

Lee should have voted NO and held out for a vote on the HOUSE BILL, that would have showed guts.

This vote was meaningless. The dims had been blocking the vote to even debate the bill until DingyHarry gave them their marching orders to stop blocking it. Whether this vote was 98-2 or 51-49 wouldn't have mattered. It was going to go to debate.

Cruz and Lee will join Sessions and Inhofe on voting against this DHS funding compromise by McConnell & Co.

You do no good by continuing to wrongly trash the few good conservatives in D.C.

What is dirty about not funding everything? Is that not the whole point of spending bills?

How is it clean to pass a bill that funds everything much less pass one from the senate?

Is not the technical definition of clean bill to pass many bills each funding many different things so that a majorty may be required to consent to each item, and to do so starting from the house?

The bill disallowing hte ammnesty action will if passed, be vetoed.

the only course is to go forward and provide no money for DHS. Make them work with no appropriation.

Then begin a continuous loud and ever present denunciation of the President as a tyrant, a non American. Drag him through the mud with an all court press.
