BREAKING: Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Jeff Sessions Pushing for Defund Amnesty Vote
Daily Caller ^ | 12/12/2014 | Patrick Howley

WASHINGTON – Republican Sens. Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Jeff Sessions are pushing for a vote to defund President Obama’s executive amnesty in the “Cromnibus” spending bill Friday night, The Daily Caller has learned.

The trio of conservative senators is hoping to get the defund vote onto the Senate floor as a “point of order,” which would force a procedural vote on the issue without Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid having to introduce it.

The senators are pushing hard on Capitol Hill for the measure as of early Friday afternoon. If successful, the vote would take place late Friday night, after planned deliberations on the defense budget.

I hope they can pull it off.

It would fail, of course, but would the squishes in an uncomfortable position to have their vote on the record.

I’m sure Alfred E. McCain and the usual gang of idiots will rush in with a compromise at the last minute. :)

At least some few are trying. It’d be good to get all the senators on record with a vote on this.

Juan would probably want to add six or eight million to the amnesty.

I hope they can get it, but I’m skeptical.
