Oh. My ‘grrrr’ refers to his vote on the Cornyn amendment not the cloture vote.
At this point I am not trusting any of the 63 Nay voters!
WASHINGTON - A fragile bipartisan compromise that would legalize millions of unlawful immigrants suffered a setback Thursday when it failed a test vote, leaving its prospects uncertain.
Still, the measure a top priority for President Bush that’s under attack from the right and left got a reprieve when Majority Leader Harry Reid (news, bio, voting record), D-Nev., said he would give it more time before yanking the bill and moving on to other matters.
“We need to complete this marathon,” Reid said.
His decision set the stage for yet another procedural vote later Thursday that will measure lawmakers’ appetite for a so-called “grand bargain” between liberals and conservatives on immigration.
By a vote of 33-63, the Senate fell far short of the 60 votes that would have been needed to limit debate on the immigration measure and put it on a path to passage. Republicans even those who helped craft the measure and are expected to support it banded together to oppose that move, while a majority of Democrats backed it.
Republicans were seeking assurances they would get chances to add several conservative-backed changes that would toughen the measure.
Proponents in both parties were scrambling to find a way of reversing a blow their compromise sustained earlier Thursday, when the Senate voted to phase out the bill’s temporary worker program after five years.
I say raise Dodd’s personal income taxes to 98% to help pay for it.
I wonder how much “Pork” is being served up by Reid and the other Yea voters ... in the back rooms to change the vote their way?

Shamnesty on the Senate floor, Day 3 Coburn pushes for full enforcement of existing laws
Reid: "This is the president's bill;" Trent Lott "serves notice"
Coburn amendment fails, 42-54; first cloture vote fails, 33-63
By Michelle Malkin · June 07, 2007 09:48 AM
The Coburn amendment 1311 to require full enforcement of existing immigration laws fails, 42-54. If you are calling Senate offices, you might want to concentrate on these ones:
GOP Sens voting NAY on the Coburn amendment - that is, voting against full enforcement of existing immigration laws: LUGAR, KYL, CRAIG, VOINOVICH, COLLINS, MURKOWSKI, BROWNBACK, HAGEL, STEVENS, DOMENICI, WARNER, SPECTER
BTTT!
Add Bennett (R-UT) to that list.
AND THE RAT SENATORS??

Kerry (D-MA), Not Voting
What a surprise /s
Im guessing some of the bills supporters are nervous about bringing it up for a final vote before the killer Dorgan amendment has itself been killed, so they want to continue the debate for the time being. (Specter hinted as much earlier today.)
They have a link to Specter's 'hint'.
I'll agree with that liberal's sentiment in a minute!
-where is skerry vacationing this week?
I wish he was on permanent vacation.He’s there,sitting on the fence,flip-flopping.Just another day for Monsieur Kerree.
