House Passes DREAM Act, But Senate Prospects Dim

While the House approved the Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act by a vote of 216-198, the fate of the DREAM Act remained uncertain as the Senate postponed a test vote on the measure.

With the lame duck session of the 111th Congress rapidly coming to a close, Senate Republicans have vowed to block any measures from reaching the floor before votes on a spending bill to keep the federal government running and whether and how to extend Bush-era tax cuts.

kratovil's vote really doesn't matter at this point, he is a has been. Remember that this Congress is not the New Congress that will be making laws next year. People need to keep being reminded of this. Newly elected Andy Harris is the person to focus on when Congress gets started after the first of the New Year.
