Dick Morris had a great column in yesterday’s New York Post on Senate machinations over “Real ID” security legislation that would bar states from issuing drivers licenses to illegal immigrants. Majority Leader Bill Frist now opposes offering the ban as an amendment to a critical defense-appropriations bill, claiming he wants it to be part of a “broader debate” on immigration. You’ll recall last December an obstinate (and wimpy) Senate forced House Judiciary chairman Jim Sensenbrenner, the ban’s main sponsor, to pull it from the 9/11 intelligence reform bill in return for being allowed to offer it on must-pass legislation in 2005. That’s exactly what the defense money bill is. So much for promises. And so much for Frist’s future. The game-playing, says Morris, “may have just killed his hopes to be the Republican nominee for president in 2008.”
