It's all going down the hopper anyway. Senate ignores everything passed.
Mark Levin pointed out that the speaker of the house does not have to actually be a member of congress. I think we should call our Republican Congressmen and tell them to vote for Newt as speaker. Maybe we should tweet Newt first to see if he’s up for it, but Newt as speaker again would be nice to see. He’s a fighter.
One of the things that deters people from challenging the incumbent speaker is fear of retaliation if they loose. An outsider like Newt would have nothing to loose. There’s nothing Boehner could do to punish him.
I will tell my US Representative tomorrow to vote against Boehner as speaker. However, Obama may see the danger of newly converted amnesty ally Boehner getting thrown out next year, and for that reason amnesty may come up in the lame duck.
It's all going down the hopper anyway. Senate ignores everything passed.
Let's examine that statement. GOP senators were ready to pass amnesty in 2007 before the phones melted.
There are 45 GOP senators, with the same number after lame duck. Obama would need to pick off 6. I am not going to assume that the madness that has infected Boehner is contagious, but I am not going to assume that it is not. Not all senators are like Sessions.
Luger would get to vote for it and does not face reelection.
Flake has been for some amnesty proposals in the past, and even proposed his own.
Rubio has proposed his own dream act.
I think Kay Bailey Hutchison would vote no, but it took her a long time to make up her mind about the GWB amnesty. Cruz, taking over her job next year, sounds OK so far, but he is a new guy.
Kirk? He said that condoms reduce illegal immigration!
Murkowski: RINO but may vote against Obama amnesty, who knows.
And then there are the 2007 amnesty cheerleader McCain, Graham, Chambliss, Isakson.
