10:00 a.m.: Convene and begin consideration of H.R. 1642, the Higher Education Reauthorization bill.

This is another win situation. Why? Because if Dream is added once again it wouldnt have to go to the House but rather to conference.. DoD bill is dangerous for us and it could be a while before it passes, the Democrats will not blink they will not pass a bill that does not have a withdrawal in it, and we know what will Bush do when withdrawal is in the bill. I personally dont see a reason why Durbin would not add a Dream to this.. Dream is about education in general and not military. I have a feeling Durbin will try to add Dream to this bill, because Kennedy will be the guy on the floor for most of the time during debate on this, and Kennedy on Friday said Dream Act is his goal to pass also...

We hit the phones tommorow?

But the only problem is that this bill wouldn't go straight into conference.

Great, I've been resigned to DREAM coming up in September, now I have to get my hopes up again. I dont want to get it dashed again . We have to try though...
