RNC's Immigration Revolution?

John Gizzi of Human Event reports on the RNC's August 3rd midsummer meeting:

The Republican National Committee is poised to officially break with the President, Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), and its own national chairman by enacting a resolution coming out foursquare against any measure that provides legal residency for illegal immigrants in the U.S.

The measure, which so far has 47 co-sponsors among the 169-member RNC, is expected to be enacted on Friday when the party’s governing body holds its summer meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Should it receive the blessings of the RNC’s Resolutions Committee on Thursday and then be endorsed by the full committee the next day, the resolution would, in effect, put the national Republican Party on record against measures such the Administration-backed comprehensive immigration package that died in the Senate last month.

Understand that most RNC folks (only two per state or territory) achieve their prestigious posts only after years of toil in the GOP vineyard. This is not a group readily prone to rebellion. For 47 RNC members to sign their names to a resolution defying White House immigration policy is the GOP equivalent of the French Revolution.
