Suppressing the Truth
Democrats try to avoid alien license issue


Lou Dobbs
Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- November 9
Tucker: James (ph) bill to be introduced next week would amend real I.D. and prohibit states from issuing drivers' licenses of any kind to illegal aliens. Another Republican in the House has introduced a resolution with 51 co-sponsors, three of whom are Democrats, saying it is bad policy.
Rep. Latham: We're very hopeful that on both sides of the aisle will push leadership to be able to bring this vote to the floor, bring the resolution up, so that we can have a good debate if nothing else and see where the chips fall.
Tucker: Don't hold your breath.
David Wasserman, Cook Political Report: I don't think that a debate on the floor of the House is going to see the light of day if Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer and other members of the Democratic leadership have their way.
Tucker: Because, he says, they don't want to alienate special interest groups that usually favor the party. The hint that front- runner Senator Clinton took over her non-support support of Governor Spitzer on the issue has the party leadership believing in don't ask and certainly don't tell. It's not a view necessarily shared by the Democratic rank and file.
