Fun While It Lasted

It would be more fun to bring up the immigration bill every three months or so just to watch the right wing pop a vein, but it's officially dead for now, after failing two cloture votes today.

The bill wasn't workable, and with everybody demagoguing the issue to death there wasn't going to be any rational discourse about it. Harry Reid did what he could, but I don't see why he should have to carry water for a bill that's really the President's legacy project. Not to mention the fact that I'm really not interested in bringing de facto indentured servants onto our shores to be exploited by large businesses.

In two years, with a larger share of Congress and a Democratic President, there's a better chance of getting something favorable, anyway.
