Republican leader Bill Frist says the Senate will send 14 Republicans and 12 Democrats to the other side of the Capitol to negotiate a compromise.

Why do they need 25% of their body to negotiate. Seems like a smaller group could represent the Senate in negotiations. Is this typical of these kinds of conference committes?

"send 14 Republicans and 12 Democrats to the other side of the Capitol to negotiate a compromise"

Of the 26, there are only 6 who are against amnesty. It is a joke.

Just wait until these Republicans are in the minority. The MSM won't be running to them to hear what they have to say anymore. This suicide pack is starting to resemble Jonestown. Maybe in 2008 after the war is lost a new batch of Republicans with spines can be recruited who will win back the majority on principle, not perks.
