Slo Joe Biden was presiding and got to announce the 54-46 result. He was there to celebrate the big gun-grabbing vote and instead looked like he was going to hurl. Joe, it IS a big f’n deal.

Biden said the DEMs had 58. Guess he doesn’t know how to count. Was he grinning like the Joker?

Rat bastard McCain voted for it. It’s damn near impossible to get through to his offices. I did get through to his Prescott Az off ice and gave them hell.

Toomey’s was only one of 14 amendments to S.649. I would like to see a tally of all of the amendments. The first four included Feinstein’s ban on semi-automatic pistols and rifles, and Lautenberg’s ban on magazines over 10 rounds. Also, are they still going to be able to pass the base S.649 without the amendments???? I want to see 100% failure to pass anything restricting the 2nd Amendment.

Grassley Amendment just failed 52-48. 2/8 Amendments down, 6 to go. Leahy still whining. Harry Reid on phone with Obama discussing either a black flag operation or “nuclear option” to deem it “passed”.

Good news! Now we need to fight against amnesty.
To: Red Steel
54 for and 46 against -not enough. Obama fails. :-) AMEN!!!
Still too close for comfort! 54 U.S. RAT bastard senators trying to illegal change the Bill of Rights & the U.S. Constitution by legislative fiat rather than the method prescribed by the Constitution. Every single senator who voted for this atrocity should be thrown out of office and straight into Federal penitentiary.....including 0dumb0 & Bite-Me.

Ah, we actually do win some. ;-)

hopefully it will be game set match!
After Boston the immagration deal has to be null and void!
Americans will stand for this no more!
The Move to halt all future imigration should have already been moved on.

Great news. This means that the rest of the gun-grabbers’ amendments will fare no better.

Obozo has called press conference this afternoon on this. Watch him try to exert executive order. Just watch.

Nope. Joe was not grinning at all, in fact, he showed no teeth, whatsoever. He was there to celebrate a big win but instead was served a heaping plate of crow.
