That is the headline on Drudge and all he has for now. Since Matt is undoubtedly in bed on the East Coast, we can probably thank Andrew Breitbart.
The immigration bill is on the brink of collapse in the Senate. Let's hope for some more developments soon.
Agreed. I find this to be hopeful news but I’m not letting off the pressure one bit until I know it’s really dead.
Just before they finished for the night, Sen. Sessions blasted the amnesty bill and its supporters. He said he didn’t support the bill. He was great!!
It ain’t over till it’s over...but just maybe the fat lady is warming up in the wings...
Here’s the dirt:
1. This is a feint, a ploy to get everybody against Amnesty to reduce pressure. DON’T. MORE PRESSURE. POUR IT ON.
2. This is a sham, a ploy to get Republicans angry with the GOP while the DNC players sit back. Remember, the DNC ran a bunch of ‘strong borders’ candidates last November...hold their feet to the fire now and forevermore.
3. This BILL continues to be a fraud, with any amendments as just so many different flavors of icing on a pile of sewage. It’s the BILL ITSELF, not the amendments or any loopholes, that must be quashed.
A landmark attempt to reform US immigration laws and grant a path to citizenship for around 12 million illegal immigrants faces its most crucial test yet in a moment of high political drama Thursday.
Democratic Senate Majority leader Harry Reid has scheduled a device known as a cloture vote on limiting time for debate on the package, in an effort to force it through the Senate this week.
Republicans, many of whom are under intense pressure from conservative supporters over the bill, have however complained that Reid’s move would thwart a sheaf of amendments they wish to debate, and want more time.
Reid needs 60 votes to move the bill forward in the closely divided Senate. He has said he would shelve the legislation if the cloture vote fails.
That could be fatal for the bill, as any attempt to bring it back to the Senate floor later this year or early next year would mean it would land square in the political maelstrom of congressional and presidential elections in 2008.

If we really need more foreign workers, FIX the legal immigration system. Too hard? STOP punishing legal immigrants and rewarding illegal immigrants. You idiots. You worthless, elected, IDIOTS.
The Oligarchs and Dictators of the world are LAUGHING at you, you stupid Senators and Representatives and you President. They're LAUGHING at your WEAKNESS.
"BwaaHaaahHaaaah, we'll NEVER have to change our ways. The dumbassed USA will continue to subsidize our corruption indefinitely, we can send all our ignorant-masses problem to them."
"Not only that, but the Wahabbis will bribe W Millions of Dollars for his Presidential Library, just as they have done for Presidents for decades. Then he will travel to the Middle East and give speeches at $200,000 a pop.
And some Saudi Wahabbi Prince will nudge him with an elbow, wink wink, nod nod, "You wouldn't mind if we build another Wahabbi School on your soil, would you?"
"Of course not! Islam is a Religion of Peace! Bring it here!"
"Wink wink, nod nod......everything is wonderful! No problems at all!"
Drudge has a Tancredo letter to US Senators for citizens to sign and warn them against voting for this immigration (Amnesty) bill. Go to Drudge website now and sign it.
fyi
I caught that as well Ernest, he called the whole bill a con.
Earlier today, about midday on a NumbersUSA conference call, Rosemary Jenks said that she had just heard that Reid didn’t have the votes for cloture. I hope that was and is correct as it will kill the bill. I suspect that the transatlantic phone lines are active right now with arm twisting calls to Senators.
Keep Calling Washington, and by the way... DUMP HAGEL!

Drudge is playing the attention whore tonight. In the morning he’ll probably make the contrary prediction, to get the other side’s attention.
this is key...kill it now and it will get voted on in 11/08
I’ll tell ya, Senator Sessions sure gave them an earful tonight.
NEVER GIVE UP!!
Keep Calling and E-mailing!
