All aboard the political roller coaster,up & down now the Climate bill has been delayed by Senator Kerry due to the dispute over immigration,hopefully immigration isn't corkscrewed on this ride lol.Perhaps calling is in order for the next 3 weeks till we get something more definitive.

WASHINGTON - Sen. John Kerry says he's placing his long-awaited climate-change bill on hold after immigration politics threatened to unravel his bipartisan coalition.

The former Democratic presidential nominee said Saturday the delay is only temporary and he remains fully committed to passing comprehensive energy and climate change legislation this year.

But the last-minute political problem is forcing Kerry to postpone a much anticipated unveiling of the legislation that had been scheduled for Monday.

Republican co-sponsor Sen. Lindsey Graham says he'll withdraw his support for the climate bill if Senate Democratic leaders decide to deal with an immigration bill first.

The climate can wait for a few months, some people here can't. Some of us are in deportation proceedings, and until this bill is passed, we're not free to live.

Who cares, if climate bill gets floor time first, chances of CIR will diminish even more.
