Major Garrett has sources on both sides of the aisle telling him we can write the bill's obituary. Roll call going on now.
Great news.
Please don’t give up until this is absolutely certain. There are rumors from FAIR that a small select committee is working on a set of amendments to replace the current ones and might try again tomorrow. While I hope this is untrue, we need to be certain before celebrating too prematurely.
This being said, it is worth acknowledging the tremendous efforts of FReepers, so many of whom have been tireless champions of this amnesty bill’s defeat. Kudos also to Kristinn for conveying the feelings of FReepers to RNC.
Let us also not forget the fabulous efforts of Sen. Jeff Sessions, a giant among pigmies in the US Senate. I was about to send him a case of Red Bull in case he was getting ready for a fillibuster :)
Cryogenics for Dead Legislature. That’s where it will go. In a state of suspended animation, awaiting the day some mad (and I don’t mean angry) Senator finds a way to breathe life back into it. “Live, damn you, LIVE.....” Of course Kennedy won’t be allowed to try CPR, for all the obvious reasons.
Amnesty death. YES!!
Reid has been saying he’ll pull the bill if there’s no cloture. I know he lies but this should be the end of it.
Yeah, but remember Reid said that about the FIRST cloture vote earlier today. He’s a LIAR. I don’t think he wants to stop debate. I think he wants to keep this alive, no matter how many bad amendments are added, so that they can finegle this through next week . . . or the week after.
And we all know that the crooked ole man from Nevada lies like a rug don't we!
senf them to me, and i promise you my friend and fellow american that i will see to it that it is dlivered
I look at those pictures and all that comes to mind is scum evil scum
Of course, this won't prevent the treason lobby from bringing the bill up for consideration again later. So until the next election, we have to be on guard.
Survey Says!!! 45 Ayes, 50 Nays. Cloture Fails!!!
As another FReeper pointed out, we shouldn't’t allow this bill to rise like a phoenix sometime tomorrow.
Cloture motion fails
Yea 45
Nay 50
LOL... Yup, six months from now they'll be nostalgic for the good old days in June when they were (figuratively) being beaten about the head with 2x4's.
Short of a stake through it's heart, the immigration amnesty bill is dead.
You can add me to that list as well.
Never ever trust the U.S. Senate. They are a pack of sniveling self-promoting snakes who have no principles not embraced by self interest. Scum all, with very few exceptions.
Whether amnesty is dead is open for debate. Whether Jorge Bush and the Senate RINOs have killed the Republican party is not.
You can’t get toothpaste back into the tube, and the damage to the party is done. And this will be Bush’s legacy. Pretty damn sad.
Are ya’ll sure this pos bill is dead on arrival. I am a doubter of sorts. Want to see a crucifix driven into the heart of a vampire or six silver bullets fired into a werewolf. Just gotta love those old 40s horror flicks.
BTW, is Lindsey Graham gay???? He doth looketh it, lol....
