Amnesty: Sessions Motion to S. 2648 (2014)

Grade Categories: 
Correct Action Text: 
Voted in favor of an amendment to S. 2648, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2014. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had already offered the maximum number of amendments (in a practice called "filling the tree") to the legislation with the express purpose of preventing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex) from offering his legislation to defund DACA. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) offered an amendment, # 3751, to remove all of Sen. Reid's amendments so that Sen. Cruz's could be considered. This motion failed 43-52.
