The Senate isn't scheduled to return to session until Nov.14th or 15h; And isn't Congress gone for most of December and part of January?? They've already given up half of September; all of October this year to campaign. Just goes to show what a wasted opportunity they passed last March. Even last fall, they could have added Dream Act to the defense bill; but they wanted to string along the CHC and the 'advocates' who've again had an epic fail in strategy. Sigh. The only time would be in November to pass DA, but it worries me that there's not a date.
