Jon "Not intended to be a factual statement" Kyl strikes again!

The Supreme Courts ruling Monday against major parts of Arizonas immigration law highlighted the GOPs bind on the issue, with Mitt Romney awkwardly equivocating. A leading Arizona Republican sought to ease his partys troubles by devising a novel claim: that President Obama was to blame for Congresss failure to pass immigration reform under President Bush.
I note that in his response to todays Supreme Court ruling, President Obama called on Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. I also note that the bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill I helped draft in 2007 was killed in part by then-Senator Obama, Sen. Jon Kyl (AZ), a Republican leadership member, said in a statement.
The problem: Obama voted in favor of Bushs 2007 immigration legislation, while Kyl joined the filibuster that quashed it.
Seriously?
