Bush-Kennedy Amnesty Bill Update
To: Stephanie
Stephanie,
Our contacts on the Hill are giving us an insider's look at how
the Bush-Kennedy amnesty bill is likely to proceed this week.
We expect the Amnesty Gang to introduce a new bill as a
"substitute" of the last failed bill. This allows them to
bring the bill to the Senate floor without going through
committee -- just like the first Bush-Kennedy amnesty bill.
Then they will use Senate procedures -- including one which
we are being told has never been used before -- to restrict
the number of amendments that can be considered and limit debate.
What does all this mean?
At the end of the day, the Amnesty Gang is doing everything
in their power to ensure that "the fix" is in on amnesty.
They are going to manipulate Senate rules and make it nearly
impossible for those opposing amnesty to block the bill on
the Senate floor.
So the bottom line is, the ONLY barrier left to the Senate
passing this bill is an even greater grassroots uprising.
