I wonder if Boner would have allowed this to pass.

I think that would depend on whether Bonehead was sober on the day it was presented and voted upon.

A very good start, now if some Sen Dems have some cajones they’ll back Bambam against a wall.

This bill seems pretty pointless. Homeland Security sends over a memo saying “we’ve checked them all out and they’re all cool” and in they come. Big whoop.

Not really... just need 34 folks to hold, Dems have enough safe seats.. the House is an easier win, and they just barely got there. We will see, but I won’t hold my breath that D’s will pass with a VETO proof majority in the Senate, let alone that majority holds when Obama vetos.

Harry Reid said he’ll block the Bill and it’s not going to get to Obama’s desk

This is bogus. They should vote to defund the refuge program. Only they can initiate funding.

It should've been defunded after the exploits of the Tsarnov lads.

Yes, but remember, the first vote doesn’t matter, once its Vetoed it has to be voted on again and THAT vote must be 2/3 or more.... So just because its veto proof in number now doesn’t mean a veto will be overridden.

The dems have shown they will fall on their sword for this moron again and again at the expense of America when push comes to shove time and time again, I have no reason to believe they won’t do it again.

Could be procedural.

Or that the bill didn’t go far enough.

If you call, there is a small chance they’ll vote right. if you don’t call, there is zero chance. I’ll take slim over none.

“Harry Reid said he’ll block the Bill and it’s not going to get to Obama’s desk”
