I'm guessing republicans in congress are still letting the unemployed twist in the wind?
Does anyone know if they voted for cloture on the bill last night? I'm hearing that it is still being held up because they want to de-fund Acorn and make permanent the "e-verify" immigrant program by employers in this bill?
The vote was 85-2. The vote for EUI is expected as "soon" as Wednesday. I guess Senate rules state there has to be at least 30 hours after the cloture vote or whatever before the bill itself can be voted upon.
