Congression Republicans: Flirting With A November Death Wish
DJ Drummond at Polipundit notes that the Senate avoided a train wreck by failing to pass an immigration bill.
At the same time I think the Republicans also sidetracked (seemingly unintentionally) something else: certain annihilation in November. If this pathetic kludge of a bill had passed Congressional Republicans would be perfectly teed up for a Tiger Woods-like wallop by the voters in the coming election. (My seven year old could spot the utter uselessness of specifying time-spent-in-country as a condition for distributing benefits--every illegal in the country would have suddenly spent exactly 4 years 364 days here, etc.)
Meanwhile Charles Krauthammer (via LGF) has the sequence right: First A Wall -- Then Amnesty.
