Boehner raised the debt ceiling, will it now be easier to pass amnesty?

[Greg in LA]

Your comment that Boehner might trade some sort of amnesty for some type of postponement of Obama care. It's not the first time that I've heard of this possibility. I've heard that scenario a couple of times before, so a lot of people must be thinking about it.

Time will only tell, but from my own vantage point I still can't see the Republicans piling on to their problems.

I'm no psychic though, and it's very hard for me to understand the thinking of most people.

I've said before that I think it's a near miracle that the giant amnesty hasn't been passed. Our opposition has all the money and virtually all the political and media power in their favor, but still enough Republicans are unwilling to slit their own throats.
