DREAM -Cloture Motion Introduced and Withdrawn Yesterday in the Senate

The first step of enacting any contentious legislative bill in the Senate is to take up a cloture motion to block filibuster by opponents. Yesterday, the Majority Leader introduced the DREAM bill on the floor but for unknown reasons, it was withdrawn by certain leading Democrat Senators, including Sen. Harry Reid. Today's Senate floor is scheduled to be tied up with an impeachment of a judge. Intially, the Senate Majority leader was planning to act on DREAM bill as soon as the impeachment was taken care of, but the Senate failed to reach the impeachment decision yesterday. Thus, the Senate floor will continue the impeachment matter. Hmm................

We need to be receptive to this, let Reid and Durbin make the judgment call when to call it, our job is call, fax, e-mail

Guys, the source is bad. That's why the information is wrong

This site has the original video of what reid said exactly during the debate.

Basically, he said "Motion to proceed to consideration of measure withdrawn in Senate". What it means is that, the Senate will now turn their attention to other issues on Tuesday instead of talking about Dream Act. In the mean time, they will let the cloture motion ripen.

Hmm, this is ridiculously scary now. There are only 8 working days left, and this includes today which is already wasted. You probably need at least 1-2 working days for the debate/cloture/vote combo and they have not even began yet.

That website is usually a good source, but maybe he misinterpreted what Reid said? No one else is reporting cloture withdraw. I guess we will wait and see.

senate has to pas DA. house has to pass DA. then the 2 versions need to be combined in the committee. then the house and the senate has to vote again. all before the 17th? PFFFT. pipe dream. its over folks.

stfu over 30. lol at them hatin

You'd be surprised at how fast they can pass a bill, specially if it has priority like the DREAM act.

damn....10 year priority
