It's getting too close to the next elections for it to be brought up again. Don't look for this one to come back until at least 2009...if ever. BTW, President Romney will VETO any shamnesty bill.
After all, Harry Reid pointed out yesterday that when cloture failed the first time, his phone wasn’t ringing off the hook to “get the bill passed”. Americans didn’t really CARE THAT MUCH about this issue. They might in the abstract say they don’t want to be mean to illegals, but they don’t really care. The pressure is all from the anti-illegal, pro-borders crowd.
None of the senators is going to be deluged with calls and letters chastising them for DROPPING this bill. And if we keep up OUR side, by writing and congratulating all those who voted correctly on the cloture, and once a week or so writing to those who didn’t urging them to drop this bill and put a real bill in place, it should discourage their notion that we will go away.
