The following is a partial transcript of the April 9, 2006, edition of "FOX News Sunday With Chris Wallace":
"FOX NEWS SUNDAY" GUEST HOST BRIT HUME: On Friday, a Senate compromise on immigration fell apart, leaving in doubt, for now at least, whether passage of a bill that would resolve the status of millions of illegal immigrants living here is possible.
Joining us now to discuss what's next is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Arlen Specter, who comes to us from Cartagena, Colombia. He's on the first stop of a trip through South America to check, among other things, into the DEA's drug interdiction efforts.

Again, though, he doesn't even have immigration listed as topic of discussion when you try to e-mail him. I'm not so sure he's really interested in hearing what we have to say.

"And also, there are going to be some expressions by many people very unhappy with the Senate not passing a bill and very unhappy with the House bill."
Nice dodge. Avoids "expressions" about the content of the Senate bill.
As I expressed to my Reps,Sen Graham-Sen DeMint,NO bill is better than a BAD bill..
No Bill is better than any bill that even hints of amnesty.
I can name three: Coburn, Kyl, and Sessions.
