DREAM fails

| 0 comments

The DREAM Act cloture vote failed today by 55-41, with 60 votes necessary but that would have been enough to pass in an up or down vote.  Once again, the abuse of arcane Senate rules stifling democracy.  That makes this more ifuriating is that five Democrats joined the slimy Republicans.

Here is a list of the bastards:

Max Baucus of Montana

Jon Tester of Montana

Kay Hagan of North Carolina

Ben Nelson of Nebraska

Mark Pryor of Arkansas

Now the Senate votes on cloture of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell repeal.
