What is going to happen? When we plunge ourselves into a procedural morass in order to prevent ourselves from being able to act. if we want to. in an easier. reasonable way. we are likely to force ourselves into evasion. into bollerplate. and we are tempted to use this for other purposes. Yesterday. we had an amendment which was adopted. the Graham amendment. where a point of order now lies if you try to reduce Federal spending on immigration. Now a new process is being applied to a spending cut. the argument being that. if that cut were made. that would lead to more local spending. Well. the same thing can be true for dozens of amendments.
