More Irony Alert: Obama just said on This Week that
(paraphrasing) there is a possibility that those opposed to the immigration legislation with a path to citizenship will.... wait for it....FILLIBUSTER.

He wasn't sure there were enough votes yet for this legislation, but if there were, there was a possibility that the opposition might fillibuster.


Irony of ironies.

6. I am sure in this case it is a time honored tradition of the Senate!
That is a respectable tactic that has been used in a honorable fashion by some of America's greatest Statesmen. Only a lunatic, a fool, or a Democrat would suggest their was something untoward about engaging in such a ploy!

More Liberal obstructionism!
