Yeah, This absolutely makes no sense to me. What is Congress going to do from now till thanksgiving? Debate other bills? Debate on CIR surely can't take over 8 months US Congress does not work that way. Remember when Health Care reform was brought up. It was the only legislation they were working on. They even said last week that after Gun Legislation PASSES, Immigration will be next. Also, with this intense momentum, I don't think the public will wait for 8 months. Leahy has made it clear. He's not going to let people sit on their backs and walk like snails on this issue. It surely can't take 8 months to debate one damn bill. All the details have already been debated behind closed doors. Now its time for the amendments.
