I do not mean to be rude or unseeming on this thread....but I think they need mandatory drug and alcohol testing before addressing the Senate floor! Leahy and Kennedy BOTH sound sloshed!

4) Any who have been committing identity theft will get a pass, and any government employee who divulges the identity theft, even to the victim, will be fined $10,000. (Section 604)

This just lights me up. This they can identify as a crime? Someone lets you know that you are the victim of identity theft is a criminal? Who the hell are these Senators representing? Americans or Mexicans?

RINO or not, when 80% of your constituents are against a bill and they’re ringing your phone off the wall, it is not a done deal...unless the senator doesn’t want to be reelected.

Do you suppose that we can sue? How about equal protection under the law?

Is there even enough Senators for a quorum? The room looks empty.

Correction for Graham: He’s in the fifth year of his ONLY term in the US Senate. Oh, I truly hope so. I hope he gets the same treatment that Sen. Max Cleland received.

Graham has a nasty and stupid habit of repeatedly poking his finger in the eyes of his base.

He deserves to be primaried and lose his seat. To think that he holds the Thurmond seat is appalling.

I really hope so ... but the way this bill has been foisted on the Senate at the last minute and the drive to compromise, I am uneasy.

Notice how they all keep dragging Chertoff into this mess? I guess they want to push that “national security” aspect bigtime. Lame.
