Vote [for cloture] on Frist's border security bill S2454
Yes 36
No 62
Failed!
==
Debate now opened on some other vote.
36-62 is not good on this bill. That means that the Senate is not willing to consider a limited measure that improves border security.
If Frist had been a good leader, he would have found a way to get all his republicans to vote yes for cloture on HIS bill.
They would have known the democrats would block it anyway, and could have used the vote to prove the democrats don't want to stop illegal immigration, and only support it in their version of the bill because they want to legalize the illegals so bad.
But with so few republicans voting, it's a hard argument.
