I have to go vote and do some errands, but I want a thread for discussion of the Senate immigration bill. Apparently, Mitch McConnell supports it, which is interesting. It means that there is a pretty good chance that the bill will pass the full Senate. At the least, it makes it much harder for the right to launch a coordinated attack. So, let’s get a little ahead of ourselves here and ponder what it will look like on the House side once the Senate passes the bill with the support of the Minority Leader.
That gives Boehner plenty of cover to violate the Hastert Rule, right?
Does it also give enough cover to rank-and-file Republicans to support the bill? Or, I guess I should say enough rank-and file Republicans?
