Nancy Smash! (Immigration Edition): Pelosi Draws Her Bright Lines On Immigration Reform

Sez Nancy to John: you want to deliver the Latino, Asian, and much else besides vote to the Democrats for a generation?



GOP leaders must understand this, or they wouldn’t be trying to blame her for their failure preemptively.

“That’s just their usual unprofessional way — their usual amateur hour, blame it on somebody else, because they can’t legislate,” Pelosi said.

But if things reach that point anyhow, she has a polite suggestion. “The Constitution says a majority. It doesn’t say the Hastert rule, or sometimes the Hastert rule, or when I feel like it the Hastert rule. It says the majority. And there are ways to achieve the majority that I hope they will pursue.”
