"The Hill reports this morning that conservative Republicans in the House
have plans to derail the Senate immigration compromise based on a procedural
matter. The bill includes tax policy, which according to the Constitution, has
to originate in the House, and some Republicans have lined up to issue a 'blue
slip' stop to the legislation on that basis."
While I would normally support a bill that was crafted through compromise, this is not a good bill in my opinion and its failure is a good thing. It looks like the bill may be sidelined, at the least more time to work it over and fix some of the mistakes that were made in the bill are needed.
