"Whatever your plans, they're likely to be way more fun than the way John Boehner and his fellow House majority leaders anticipate passing their day: namely, listening to their colleagues rant and rage about immigration at a specially organized conference gripe session on the topic.

The closed-door powwow promises to be an electrifying exercise in spleen venting, thrust upon them by their Senate brethren. At some point in the next day or two, the upper chamber is expected to pass its sprawling, blood-sweat-and-tears-drenched overhaul of our FUBAR immigration system. In the run-up to voting, Hill watchers have been aflutter over whether the bill can pull enough Republican support to hit 70 "yeas"—maybe even 71! A procedural test vote Monday topped out at a mildly disappointing 67 (including 15 R's). But the last-minute horse trading continues, and reform advocates remain optimistic that the final tally will be big and bipartisan enough to goose the House into passing something similarly sweeping."

Why it this crazy? What relevance is the voting in the Senate to the House. The fact that the senate thought there was relevance exposes the Senate disrespect of the House. The House is the representative of the people, and the Senate at one time was the representative of the states. No more. The senate is now the representative of the ruling elite.

Michelle Cottle, is a representative of the ruling elite, who takes umbrage at the House not kowtowing to the senate. But disrespecting the Senate is the correct course of action. Never before has the opinion of the people been lower concerning the ruling elite. Striking a blow for the people to the Senate, is a blow to the ruling elite. This will be popular.

And what can the Senate do about it? Can they refuse to take up bills past in the House? They have done that anyway. Can they refuse to appropriate monies the House want to appropriate? he Senate may fine the House will refuse to appropriate monies the Senate wants. In the view of the people supporting the House, there is way too much appropriating going on.

Special attention must be paid to the Senate GOP members who supported this monstrosity. Shunning might be appropriate. We may forgive them eventually, but not soon.
