Very true. It was supposed to start in February and Arlen Spinctor delayed it until March. I saw a blurb on a blogsite (FortheCause if I recall correctly) about a rumor that McCain and Frist were trying to come up with some lame excuse to push the hearings back until after the November election. I think they were going to use the NSA Eavesdropping hearings as an excuse. Real pillars of courage, those two! But it is probably good. I'd rather have a pissed off electorate and the status quo then another shamnesty.
If the Senate's goal is to ultimately pass amnesty then they can push it back all they want, I agree the status quo is far preferable to that.
