House Republicans may use "blue slip" maneuver
to stop the Senate Immigration Amnesty bill from becoming law. The "blue slip" maneuver is a constitutional rule the Republicans in the house can play, which states that revenue raising legislation must orginate in the House not the Senate. This rule can be used thanks to the back taxes provision in the Senate Immigration Amnesty bill, and who put that provision in there, none other than Senator John McCain. You can read the story here. I think that the Republicans in both the House and the Senate need to stop this Amnesty bill. If this is the only card they have to play then they need to play it.
