The Senate’s orders for Thursday:
∙The Senate will convene at 9:30am and proceed to consideration of the motion to proceed to the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act of 2010 (S.3992), with ten minutes reserved for Senator Durbin, and the remaining time until 11:00am equally divided and controlled between the two Leaders, or their designees.
∙At 11:00am, the Senate will proceed to a series of up to three roll call votes on the following:
o The motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act of 2010 (S.3992).
o The motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 (H.R.847).
o Reconsideration of the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (S.3454).
The key players have until noon tomorrow to figure out how to make this work. I just hope everyone is operating in good faith — and I do worry whether Mitch McConnell is even going to let Susan Collins cut a deal. He runs a tight ship.
