Why do you say that? Most of these amendments would liberalize immigration laws and open the floodgates even more, if that's possible. I'm sort of glad he wants to put them off, it'll give the opposition more time to build a coalition against any scamnesties. They do need to pass the Real ID Act now though...

He wants to put them off until he and Cornyn can manipulate the situation such that they bring a Bush Plan type bill to the floor while excluding the compromise bill. They need more time to do this.

If Sensenbrenner would back off on Real ID, the Senate would back off on attaching the compromise reform bill.

Why do you say that?

Frist is blowing a golden opportunity to LEAD. That what's he's there to do. If we were talking about Daschle instead of Frist, Daschle would simply say that there weren't enough votes and not allow the Bill to be presented, or he would ramrod it through if it were something that he wanted passed.

Frist is exposing more of his linguini spine by not demanding that the Senate remove their riders from the Bill and/or demand that his "colleagues" align themselves with the wishes of the vocal majority of Americans in this issue.

The House version is the only one where the representatives seem to understand that an overwhelming majority of Americans are against illegal immigration and want the borders closed and the illegals rounded up and tossed out. Why can't the Senate grasp that fact?

If Frist is considering a WH bid in '08, he needs to start showing his leadership abilities, NOW!!! Telling us what a wonderful "leader" he was in the Senate when he's on the campaign trail will have the same effect as John Kerry telling us he's a great "war hero".

Neither statement is true, and this is just ONE of the facts that contradict Frist's claim.
