I'm encouraged with the 56-41 margin of defeat. 35 repubs are sane and only 20 are complete morons. The margin is considerably closer than predicted by many pundits. Despite this result, I think the momentum is slowly shifting to the conservative perspective. I am optimistic the House will hang tough and carve out the amnesty benefit giveaway and hopefully up the amount of fencing.
I think I made a mistake, that the 56-41 vote is the final amendment that required the US to consult with Mexico for approval on border security. Can't get the text.
Someone please find the Dodd amendment that was added to the bill at the last minute...
