Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) on Friday predicted a Senate vote on the DREAM Act will be held next week.

"Sen. Reid is going to call it," Durbin told The Hill shortly after the chamber adjourned at 3:30 p.m. Friday. Two procedural votes are scheduled for Saturday morning on competing plans to address the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts.

Durbin demurred when asked whether he has the votes.

"I'm working on it, talking to members," he said.
Yikes lol

The Hill is like where all the scum of the earth gather. The comments there always make me shake my head in disbelief.

it doesn't have to be first voted by the House. It actually would speed things up if both chambers voted on the same bill.

idk I think there is a slim chance the Senate will take up the same bill as the house. I'd prefer S.3992 since I think it has the best chance of passing, but appose it because of the lack of retroactive benefits.
