Reid and the Dems are playing politics; the President had a closed-door meeting with 'advocates' last Friday not to be available to the press or blog posters. By not securing the votes for either DA or DADT, and making the passage conditional on cloture for the DoD bill, they will try to blame the Republicans and again do nothing to ensure passage of either bill. They have no shame and a lot of gall if they come out and say to vote for them and they will 'try' to pass it again.

They don't have one because they and the pres apparently left " no stone unturned". If they had, they would have been able to secure the votes for it today. They must bring DA to the floor on its own asap.

Bennett and Hatch, who backed a similar vote three years ago, said their action was not because they have changed their position on the Dream Act. Rather, they said their vote was a reaction to other parts of the bill they found objectionable


“If I could offer an amendment that says ‘Let’s strip the Dream Act out and then vote on the Dream Act as a free standing bill,’ I would do that and I would vote for the Dream Act.”
“
Quote:
They don’t go through committee like they should in the Senate, they don’t give the minority any chance at all to bring up even legitimate amendments and this stuff has to stop,” Hatch said just off the Senate floor. The Utah Republican added he is “a little uptight” about what Democrats have done with the Dream Act, which he previously sponsored, but that he would have looked at supporting it had the Democrats allowed the act to come up separately. Hatch had reiterated his supported for the measure as recently as July.

Reid needs to put all these republicans on the spot by allowing dream to be voted on as a stand alone.
