An email from GOP Senate staff:

Right now, the Democrats are holding the Senate hostage.

Last night, the Senate got cloture on the Secure Fence Act by a vote of 71-28. At present, post-cloture time on the fence bill is set to expire at 3:00 am on Saturday, thus the Senate will be in tomorrow to vote on the fence bill. Yet, unless time on the fence bill is yielded back today or a unanimous consent agreement is reached, the Senate will not turn to any other pieces of legislation including Iran, Homeland Appropriation, NSA terrorist surveillance program or Child Custody. Given the Democratic actions it seems to indicate that to them, national security is not as important as playing politics.
