Due to strenuous objections and roadblocks by the GOP, the Senate hearings for Obama's nominee for head of Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE), and 20 other of his most controversial nominees, were held up just long enough this past week, that time finally ran out and so their hearings won't resume until next year, when under the new GOP majority.
Yet Cruz & Lee's forcing of this weekend's Senate session, done only for the purpose of making a statement against illegal immigration, is resulting in the controversial Immigration chief's nomination, among 20 other awful nominations, being pushed through Dingy Harry's Brave New Filibuster-Free World.
Go figure.
Liar, Reed was going to do the nomination next week anyways.
Due to Republican objections, Reid will be forced to hold a series of procedural votes on each nominee, rather than a simple yes-or-no vote. Speaking on the Senate floor Saturday, Reid criticized Republicans for feigning anger over the nominees despite having known for weeks that he intended to hold a vote on them before the end of the lame-duck session.
