A tax amendment. It had absolutely nothing to do with Amtrak. We cant have these bills in the waning weeks of this Congress. when people are waiting around for all kinds of things they want to do on Iraq and Afghanistan and the military and immigration. I guess the Republicans think they have a good issue on immigration. to bash immigrants. They have all kinds of issues they want on immigration. They are waiting in the wings to offer these amendments. We can see that on the farm bill. A number of the 287 amendments filed have been dealing with immigration. We cant open the farm bill during the time we are trying to pass FISA. trying to pass the farm bill. AMT. do our spending bills.
