More procedural games and worthy legislation gets stuck in procedural hell in the process.

That includes the Zadroga 9/11 Ground Zero worker legislation (which was the source of the Weiner rant posted above).

Democrats deserve the scorn for attaching DADT and the immigration bills to the defense bill (which would have ordinarily passed without much notice). GOP deserves scorn for blocking the repeal of DADT and the immigration provision.

The original bill was put out in 2001 although not called the Dream Act.

Durbin had two Republican sponsors to tack it on to the defense bill.
