"According to the ILIR’s Ciaran Staunton, 53 Democratic senators are lined
up to support the Schumer bill which is a Senate companion to an approved
House bill, H.R. 3012"
Obviously Schumer's bill S.1983 has got overwhelming supports from Senate
Demos. However a well-known fact is, Irish reform must be bond with 3012 to
pass House; otherwise if 3012 passes alone, Irish reform will never pass the
House by itself. Those 53 Senate Demos of course know this fact, so the
question is: who moved original 3012 under Rule 14, and why???
Answer is here:
http://www.irishcentral.com/news/Democrats-move-Irish-immigrati
It says Leahy tried to move S.1983 on 12/16 (Friday) but blocked by GOP.
This is important but vague information, leading to such questions:
1. S.1983 was already read twice and referred to Judiciary Committee, what
move can Leahy push for?
2. What "block" can happen given that no debate or vote was involved?
It's not difficult to answer these questions with some basic legislative
knowledge. A bill referred to Committee must be put on Committee calendar
for further consideration/discussion. Who determine the Committee calendar?
Grassley and Leahy. Obviously the "move" by Leahy is trying to put S.1983 on
Committee calendar, but Grassley refused. Given that Grassley is GOP, and
would not like any form of 3012 to pass, he has sufficient reason to stop S.
1983 in the Committee.
Now, we have another proof to the analysis above. Yes, that's the 3012 move
under Rule 14. Since S.1983 was already referred to Committee, it's no
longer applicable for Rule 14, which means Grassley's opposition can
sentence S.1983 to death. Given this, the Demos and Leahy selected original
3012 to apply Rule 14, so it can get across Committee and Grassley. That's
why 3012 was moved under Rule 14 on 12/17, just ONE DAY AFTER Leahy's
failure to move S.1983 (12/16).
What to expect next? Well, given Irish have Leahy/Schumer/Durbin and 53
Senate Demos (of coz including Harry Reid), they will definitely bind Irish
reforms with 3012. Then 3012 will be sent to House for whole legislative
procedures again. Will House approve 3012+Irish reform? That's something we
will see. But anyway, this is another exciting US political show, and all
immigrants are invited for free. | N8
