Sessions: Reid Blocking Amendments, Attempting To Seize ‘Procedural Control’ Over Immigration Bill

“Senator Reid said many times that we have to pass this bill by July 4th. Why is that? Is that his decision to make, [or] is it the other senators’ to make? So to accomplish that goal, he filed cloture immediately on this new substitute bill. He filed it as soon as [the substitute] was filed, to shut off debate… So why is there such urgency to pass legislation of this importance by Friday?”
