So they will throw Gay's under the bus this time.....

Senate Judiciary Committee Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) said he will withhold his amendment to the Gang of Eight immigration bill that would allow gay Americans to sponsor their foreign-born spouses for green cards.

Leahy's announcement followed an emotional debate in the committee.
