Here we are again my friends, hopefully for the last debate thread on this particular monstrous legislation. Proceedings are supposed to begin at 9:30 a.m. EST, with the cloture vote being taken at 10:30 a.m.
On a personal note, you've all been wonderful in your passion, vigilance, and commitment to the principles on which our country was founded. If I have to be in a foxhole, I want to be in it with you guys.

So, what is the betting line.
I would wager Webb votes for Cloture, FWIW.

Yes we have! Build a fence first!

> The red bits of PA and NYS (my state) ought to secede and form their own state. They'd make a good one :) Can Sussex County, N.J. (northwest NJ) join you? We're connected to both PA and NY up there, by Matamoras and Port Jervis. It's the last refuge of the red-staters in N.J., and we're beyond tired of the crap that comes out of Trenton daily....

How is it this traitor got reelected?
To: mimaw
I suspect that what happened to him (self-inflicted) on Hannity yesterday will simply make him MORE recalcitrant.

Specter is up speaking now, looking VERY grim. Sounds like he’s lying his *** off and, since he is controlling the time, I wonder if he’s going to give the anti-amnesty senators a chance to respond to his slander.

Arlen Dumpster: It is not amnesty. If it is amnesty, it is in the eyes of the beholder.

You have to remember that Bond did the right thing back ten days ago on the earlier vote. His idea of an amendment that was tied to him was the seductive issue that made him flip and he got no recognition as Reed botched the amendment publication and the small opportunity to grandstand that every Senator loves.
Bond may get his mind right.

I was speaking legislatively. In a more macro sense, you are of course correct.
