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.

In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American ...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag ...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people. Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Well I said my prayer to St. Michael and then also got through on the phone to Sen. Cochran.
Keep’em going.

I have no idea why Bush supported him.... makes me think that my President has went off the deep end. His “can’t we all just get along” attitude makes me sooooooooo angry. I
would love to be up there and kicking all their rears.

Sure, happily..Sessions was nominated for an appellate court judgeship...Leahy, when the Dems controlled the Senate, would not let him come up for a vote..so Sessiosn went back hoem and ran for the Senate, and won..I did not know that. Thanks!

What time do these windbags actually vote?

Kennedy was right about one thing........ This is All about RACE... it is about race baiting......... and looking at border crawlers and pandering to them............ that Mr. Kennedy is what you are doing!

Arlen Dumpster: Calls Bush lackey Martinez unique and asks him to describe his immigrant bio on the floor. Martinez abusing many for not accepting “immigrants” today.

To: truthkeeper
Just to clarify from yesterday, the "clay pigeon" approach to splitting the amendment into sub-amendments got only as far as about 8 or 9 votes before one passed (against the plan) which would have forced a full debate on that sub-amendment (no strangle-hold on Senators' rights). Reid immediately ended the day, and now they are forcing the Senate to end debate and vote on the bill without voting on the remaining 20 sub-amendments?

To: Fudd Fan
Thanks Fuddy! (and Good Morning!)I'd host the Swimmer at my house if I could get him to take a walk with me into that canyon.
BTW, that canyon has been on fire twice in the past week. Guess who started those fires?!
