Sessions a Hero
National Review's The Corner ^ | June 7, 2007 | Kate O'Beirne

Posted on 06/07/2007 12:33:47 PM PDT by jhs80

Majority Leader Reid, with plenty of Republican complicity, wants unanimous consent to dispense with 6 amendments to the immigration bill in 45 minutes this afternoon. The hope is that the cloture vote to end debate at 5 will then be successful. Senator Sessions is strongly objecting because that would allow too little time to understand fully each amendment and to debate their merits. The fast-track this legislation has been on has denied an opportunity to consider it fully and modify it thoughtfully. It by-passed the committee process. In committee last year, 60 amendments to the McCain-Kennedy bill were voted on. The fear is that the "fix" is in, with the compromise coalition and the White House fashioning some complicated amendment that will eliminate some conservative improvements, and fix the Dorgan amendment that jeopardizes GOP support. The bipartisan deal must survive!

Sessions is fighting a lonely battle. I’ve called his office 3 times to thank him for his heroism.

No, the whole stinking fraud needs to have a stake driven through it. Bury it headfirst, and deep.

I must admit, your idea has merit.

Try the special pro-amnesty 800 line 800-417-7666 - at their expense. After the propaganda you should be put through to your Senator. It will only work for your Senator, based on the location you are calling from.

He’s been great. I just wish when Spector ask him what he’d do to solve the problem he would have said “it sure as hell ain’t this load of lies you’re selling.”

He’s too good for the Senate.

God bless him.

A real irony in this is many years ago Fat Ted (and Snarlin' Arlen) proclaimed Senator Sessions unfit to sit on the Judiciary.

Paybacks being what they are, don't ya know...

Now all we need is for Reid to break down and admit he tried to sell out America for money from Nevada Casinos who bought him. I see no other reason for his 180 degree change from his 1993 Immigration Proposal which was tough on illegals...what a wh*re

I have done that. I wanted to reach Sessions office. My Senators are Lenin and Stab-me-now (who has voted some decent votes although I think they are planned with Lenin).
