Do the math on what is likely to happen there. as you correctly point out speaker pelosi does not put bills on the floor that dont have the votes. she has made a promise to her centrist members that shell do what she can to get the votes here and that is what the long, drawn out drama today is about. she is trying to do that. based on everything i am hearing there is not a deal to be had at this moment to get the bill done tonight and progressives will vote it down if it does come up. >> let me ...

Strong case for abolishing not proven verdict says justice secretary The new Justice Secretary has said there is a “very strong case” for abolishing Scotland’s controversial not proven verdict.  However, Keith Brown stressed that there are “complex issues” involving the verdict – which is not used in other parts of the UK – and these need to be carefully considered. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has previously said it is time to look at whether Scotland retains not proven...

You how far left many of these groups are. this is one of them. the ruling i just disagree with. >> eric: do you think it can be addressed in the immigration bills under consideration that havent passed yet? >> i think youll see when we get back in next week a conservative bill that comes back up and im hoping that we can just get the basics to agree with. like to build a border wall, like to end chain migration, like to end the diversity lottery. i hope we can get those basic things and make th...

The amendment addressing keeping families together is in this bill. we have the language. were ready to go. but youre going to allow a week of the fourth of july when were back in our districts and then were coming back. we should be taking this up. were talking two more weeks before the president can sign this into law and fix the problem. >> ed: the vote failed this week. another vote on a more conservative bill last week that failed. take a look to what tom holloman, the acting ice director a...

>> they added agriculture but that gained some votes but lost others. this is the uphill struggle they face. the house is poised to ve in a half hour, 45 minutes from now. steve scalise, the majority whip, continues to try to get the votes but its not looking good. lets listen. >> this bill is even stronger than the last bill at building the wall. front loading the money so president trump can have the money he needs to build the wall. close loopholes. reunite families. it does all of those thin...

These negotiations. you didnt have the moderates really involved in the crafting of that more conservative bill last week, so you would think this bill which had been negotiated ostensibly in good faith between all these factions of the republican party would do better. as it appears right now, that will not be the case. >> not even close. >> it is performing substantially worse. chris, really this is going to be -- i dont want to make too see how there would be t it is another broad immigration...

Oh. garrett haake. hes there. garrett, hows it looking? not anything were surprised by at this point, i assume? >> reporter: no. the only surprise, the only sur now appears to be the margin. but the vote is ongoing so it is a fluid issue. there are already 259 no votes which means it will do worse than the more conservative bill that was voted on last week. remember the operating theory here was that the conservative bill would give the chance for hardliners to get on the record about something ...

Compromise bill included really the most money weve seen yet set aside for the wall. $25 million up front. what doomed this bill ultimately was it did include a pathway to citizenship for d.r.e.a.m.ers. what we saw in the final tally was republicans abandoning the bill that they had compromised upon in droves. this bill only got 121 votes from republicans despite the fact that it had been this product of intense negotiations over the last couplf weeks to try to find a goldilocks spot, something ...

Damage has president trump, stop wasting your time tweet, done to the chances for passage? >> i would urge the president to continue to support the four pillars idea. thats my border security bill. going to a merit-based system and provided for a rational daca fix. the more conservative bill got rejected but i did talk to the white house yesterday. they said the president is the 100 percent behind this. moving forward, when you look at these kids down there. this is not the first time this has h...
