It was pointed out.
Harry is referring to the unconstitutional tax provisions in the amnesty legislation. Spending originates in the House by writ of the Constitution. His attitude is that this being unconstitutional is a minor matter, therefore conference between the House and Senate should commence.
Republicans are now arguing over whether to attach the bulk of the legislation to another bill to save it, which would require another vote Harry doesn't want to schedule. Or, start all over.
The Senate Republicans aren't trying to kill it, they simply can't agree on how to keep it afloat..and get Harry onboard for another vote-yet.
You mean the minority of Senate Reps want to keep it afloat. Most Senate Reps would like to sink it. For every one Senate Rep that voted for the bill, there were almost two Dems who voted for it.
Was the "unconstitutional" provision slipped in by one of the republican opponents as a "bill-killer" under the radar, or were the pro-immigrant people just that stupid?
