Like so many of the democrats, Ted Little is nothing more than a lapdog for the Senate leadership. He uses the immigration issue and constitutional rewrite as his "feel good" legislative agenda. Makes him look to his constituents, all the while knowing the Senate leadership will find some nefarious way to avoid passing the legislation. Little is a classic example of "form in lieu of substance". Don’t ever doubt that the chairman of this committee is the maestro of this bit of musical chairs.

This is one of those issues that will fire up the public. You may be correct that pressure will lead to the eventual passage of the bill, but the ramifications of this "political manipulation" leaves a bad taste in the mouth of conservative voters. The following morning, on WVNN here in Huntsville, Dale Jackson was on fire against certain local legislators who avoided the meeting.
