Harry Reid Obstructs the Senate Again?

Well you might think that peo­ple are being deceived by the media when you hear all about this GOP obstruc­tion, but is that real­ly true…

On Wednes­day, Sen­ate Major­i­ty Leader Har­ry Reid (D‑NV) blocked a vote on the bor­der secu­ri­ty amend­ment to the “Gang of Eight” immi­gra­tion bill offered by Sen­ate Judi­cia­ry Com­mit­tee rank­ing mem­ber Sen. Chuck Grass­ley (R‑IA). Grass­ley was push­ing for an up-or-down vote by the Sen­ate on his amend­ment, which would have required the bor­der to be secured for six full months before any legal­iza­tion of ille­gal immi­grants in Amer­i­ca began. Reid object­ed to Grassley’s motion, effec­tive­ly imple­ment­ing a 60-vote thresh­old that com­plete­ly blocked any attempt at a fair vote on the amend­ment.

This is just strange, you have to look at what is going on here to see what the truth actu­al­ly is…

So will you believe in the proven liars of the day?

Or will you believe what you see…

Actions speak louder than words…

“This is a very provoca­tive act,” Grass­ley warned.

Grass­ley was not the only sen­a­tor who expressed dis­sat­is­fac­tion with the process Reid was using on the Sen­ate floor. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R‑UT), who vot­ed in favor of the bill com­ing out of the Sen­ate Judi­cia­ry Com­mit­tee, said dur­ing a floor speech that he is con­cerned votes on his amend­ments will be blocked as well. 

“I was promised by lead­ers in the Gang of Eight they would work with me, that they would help me to get these things done,” Hatch said. “I con­sid­er those promis­es to be very impor­tant, and yet I’ve had some indi­ca­tion over the last few days that maybe they’re not going to work with me.”
