They just put the thing up in the first place to kill time so that Sessions could not put up his amendment regarding E-Verify. It took past midnight for the Thune one and Reid said they were going to stop at midnight.
He had been waiting all day and they told him they would get to it. They lied. They told him they did not have time because they had to do this last Thune amendment which they knew they were going to kill.
These people are sick!
I saw that..
And he just now stated there would be no votes on amendments on Saturday.
I stayed up last night and watched it. I couldn’t believe (well, actually, I could) Reid totally ignored Sen. Sessions amendment. I had the TV on earlier in the day and they blew him off then, as well.
