This is effectively the person who offered the amendment trying to table or effectively remove his seconddegree amendment to the Simpson firstdegree amendment to the Simpson motion to recommit the underlying bill. After that was tabled. Senator SIMPsON was in the position of offering the Simpson motion to table the Simpson first degree to the Simpson motion to recommit the underlying illegal immigration bill. Then when that charade had been completed. we had to readopt all of the underlying first- and seconddegree amendments. and then Senator DOLE had to go back and fill the tree again by adding five new amendments. Then Senator DOLE has to get cloture. which some Democrats will support. some will oppose. Then. finally. there may be the chance. after the cloture vote. to offer amendments on the immigration bill. However. only germane amendments will be allowed after the cloture vote when the amendment is adopted sometime tomorrow perhaps. Senator DOLE will then have to go through this whole process all over again on the underlying bill.
