I won't add everything from the article, but this part is worth nothing, I think. But, I don't think this is a winning strategy. They can't pass something without support from the White House and the Republican House leadership.

http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/3...bill-wednesday

======
He added that the group of six senators are urging Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to give them a "test vote" to show the level of support for the forthcoming legislation.

"And if it is successful, as I believe it will be, that Sen. McConnell will include it as an amendment to must-pass legislation," Durbin said.

Durbin didn't specify what "must-pass legislation" he was referring to, but Congress has roughly four days to pass a short-term stopgap funding bill to prevent a government shutdown.

Even if the Supreme Court agrees to take the case up without an appeals court ruling, it could be months before the justices resolve the legal fight. If they follow their typical timeline for cases, the matter would not even be scheduled for argument until the fall.

I don't think so. They ruled on the DACA emails thing almost immediately. Get your applications in ASAP, this could be gone any day.

Hopefully many people, including me, send their renewals in within this time. I'm one of those patiently waiting to see what happens this 19th. If nothing, my renewal will be overnighted before the end of this month.

Depends on whether DOJ can convince the Court to start the hearing right away, otherwise, you bet it will take a while.
