. And here's more from that post on why Kristol's assertion is wrong.
As usual, Kristol is wrong. As CAP’s Marshall Fitz noted, “this is not a new or complicated bill”:
The basic elements of the DREAM Act are straightforward, well understood, and have been considered numerous times over the last nine years. It has been introduced every Congress since 2001. It passed the Senate Judiciary Committee by a 16-3 vote in October 2003. And it passed the Senate Judiciary Committee again in 2006 by voice vote as part of the McCain-Kennedy comprehensive bill, which passed the full Senate by a 62-36 margin.
So it seems that Republicans like to blame process when they’re just simply on the wrong side of history.
