03/15/2006: Possible Full Senate Debate Mark-Up Beginning From March 20, 2006

An unconfirmed sources of information has just released a report that the Sen. Bill Frist, Majority Leader is pushing a two-week full Senate floor debate beginning from March 20, 2006 rather than March 27, 2006. This report is indirectly supported by another news that the Senate Judiciary Committee is pressed to extend their additional mark-up on Friday, March 17 to finish up the Committee action before the end of the week.

Looks like things are heating up and an Immigration bill might get passed sooner than expected!

I believe the senate majority and minority leader do have the right to call for debates on a previously declared holiday. Thats excactly what happened during the debate for S.1932. It went late into the night until 1.00 am and then restarted next day on a holday!
