“Where are all the anti-illegal anti-amnesty Lawmakers....theyre going to blow this!”
Don’t forget, the anti-illegal anti-amnesty lawmakers don’t think that we are stupid like McCain and Kennedey, et al do!!
To: truthkeeper
When I came home.....around 2:30ish, they were voting on the Bingaman (Dem.,New Mexico) admendment....
..however, when they did the role call, I clearly heard..."Grassley, aye"....
..so now I'm confused.
I thought the Bingaman admentment countered the Grassley amendment?????

Poor Grassley!
Did you just hear that they want to present an unrelated matter? What a joke!
To: katieanna
On another note, the Wall St. Journal reports that the Arizona Rep. Party has taken the unprecedented step of making public statements against Bush, McCain and Kyl. The Chairman will appear on Brit Hume and Hardball tonight. He is calling for other state GOP party heads to follow his lead. The WSJ also reported that Kyl is getting so much heat that he could depart the coalition of senators that crafted this thing, which the Journal (hopefully rightly) suggests that the whole thing would crumble then.Let's put the heat on Kyl!
To: Kimberly GG
Don’t forget also that Sessions has threatened to filibuster and I believe Vitter also. A single senator has power to halt legislation...thank good Lord
To: katieanna
Looks like Alexander is doing just that.
To: katieanna
So, does that mean we just have to listen to them toot their horns, tweaking this to their liking until the vote on the whole thing happens and then Sessions can filibuster?

“Looks like Alexander is doing just that.”
Doing what, dear? What? Halting the legislation???
To: Kimberly GG
Well, here’s the thing about this legislation. Right now so many amendments are being offered, nobody knows what the final bill will look like. It may look nothing at all like the original. I would imagine a senator would let all the amendments go and see what the final bill looks like before filibustering.
To: SE Mom
What's going on? Most of the Senators talking have been taken over by Aliens..

I think a major “regroup” is in process.
To: Guenevere
I had to run out a bit this afternoon so I've gotten a bit lost. When I turned the tv back on I heard LaMar Alexander talking about Internet taxes, and later Tom Harkin babbling about Guantanamo Bay.
So is the immigration debate over for today? Don't forget people, I'll try to put up a thread every day as long as this goes on. Check in if you can.

To: spectre
Funny you should say that- I was reading Michelle Malkin’s piece today- and thought, ok ...we’re REALLY in the Twilight Zone. WTH.
I’m off for a little bit- am going to try and catch up..

It's anyone's guess what is happening? Maybe the Mother Ship is coming to take them home...
The screen caption says something about making it a "crime to dig a tunnel under the US Border"..Beam them up now!

Everybody on the floor is sputtering!
To: acoulterfan
They're discussing amendments to the amendments now.
They could keep doing this for a year, maybe two.
