Hopefully they do, but who knows.

Well Reid does I guess.

Would House still vote on it if Senate goes after the House?

We have a lot of momentum right now. I feel that this is the greatest chance to get this issue done since 2001. For some reason, I feel Sen Harry Reid is going to succeed in the DA.

If the house is taking it up, the Senate will likely wait until the House passes it before taking action

Bad news is Kirk will be a part of the Senate.

True...but the House votes were always there. I, too am surprised Pelosi is acting. I think it's to pressure the Senate as well, but I'm hoping it's more because she believes the votes are there in the Senate...I guess we will see...

This is a crazy thought but hear me out...I heard the Senate will vote on the Dream Act this week...could it be possible, that they are voting on it this week so that the House votes on the same bill by the 29th? Wouldn't that make sense?
