Where is the Republican leadership speaking out on this? We only have a few days left and they should be all over the news castigating Democrats for blocking this funding. But all I’ve heard lately is Graham and McCain spewing their nonsense about giving up and ‘supporting the court case’, which is why we’ll probably lose on this:
BREITBART – Senate Democrats blocked debate on a Department of Homeland Security funding bill for a fourth time on Monday.
Last month, the House passed a DHS appropriations bill that also defunds President Obama’s executive amnesty. Senate Democrats have prevented consideration of the bill because it contains provisions blocking Obama’s actions.
House Republicans have said they do not plan on bringing up another iteration of the DHS appropriations bill. And Senate Democrats — including those who have offered concerns and even opposition to Obama’s executive amnesty — have been preventing the bill from even getting to the floor.
Before the vote Monday, Republican Senators expressed frustration with the fact that Democrats were obstructing debate and amendments to the bill.
“[I]t’s time to allow this Homeland Security funding measure to come to the floor. Democrats say they want the ability to amend DHS’ funding legislation,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said on the Senate floor. “But then they keep voting to block their own ability to offer amendments.”
