The U.S. Senate with Free Republic Input | June 28, 2007 | truthkeeper

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.

Sounds to me like the capital in Bush's political bank account is down to ZERO..

He went out of his way to make it so.

[freespirited]

After this is over, we need to give out a Most Condescending Senator Award.

[kempster]

Good to know that they are recognizing the election threats that are coming into their offices. We all deserve a raise.

"Kind of her to point out Voinovitch. :)"

Nice !

FROM NRO ( DAMMIT ! ) It’s Not Over [Ramesh Ponnuru]

The dealmakers are working hard on Thad Cochran (R., Miss.) to switch from no to yes to offset the five defectors.

Feinstein takes a shot at “talk show hosts”

[spectre]

Diane blaming talk show hosts for the people not understanding the bill..what a hoot!

[JeffAtlanta]

Vitter just said they have 3 of the 5 needed to switch, and there are 6-8 “maybes”...

That's not good - I'm sure that almost all of those 6-8 "maybes" are just holding out for more pork.

[Republican Red]

I read at NRO that Bayh might flip the other way. He was a NO on the last cloture vote and he is rumored to be a YES now.

We need a few more NO’s for insurance.

[ken5050]

Do we know who will be speaking FOR America ...?

[indcons]

Feinstein - Never before in the history of our country has more been done to fix security and broken borders. This bill is in danger of failing because of <> TALK SHOW HOSTS.

[NeoCaveman]

Sounds to me like the capital in Bush's political bank account is down to ZERO..

You are too kind. They are bouncin checks all over town. We get stuck with the overdraft fees.

[GiveEmDubya]

COLLINS!? That would be a surprise.

[rolling_stone]

hard for feinstein to understand..i guess so with an iq of 60

[tiredoflaundry]

Oh no! DiFi has on the “sparkle suit”!

[truthkeeper]

I love that you posted those cloakroom numbers. Burn them!

[mewzilla]

Kind of her to point out Voinovitch. :)

Didn't Voin acknowledge on Hannity last night that he, Voin, hadn't even read the darn thing yet?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

His vote earlier this week trumps anything after the fact. He could’ve exhibited some backbone, some leadership but he rolled for W’s 50 million Mexican friends.

[Goldie Lurks]

DiFi has never cared about illegal immigration until this point in time.

[indcons]

Lindsey Graham-nesty is going to introduce a NEW amendment. WTF????
