The Republicans could not get anything done with the majority

That's because the Republicans in Congress (the House) were bucking their own President and they treaded lightly.

now I seriously doubt that the Democrats will be able to get anything done either. Our turn to obstruct.

I wish you were right. But, the President now has a Congress he can work with on this issue. Look for amnesty to pass and a WH signing ceremony with Democrats standing behind GW.

Well I for one and I know I will be flamed, but we really need to calm down on this immigration thing. These people are not idiots and we are alienating Hispanics. I think a fair compromise that is not amnesty can be reached, but not if everyone digs in and holds their breath.

More Democrats voted Tuesday then did Republicans. The base decided to skip the election so we now live with the mess.

The Senate Reps voted against the immigration bill 32-23. They also bucked the President, but the Dems voted almost unanimously for the bill. The bill is now anti-cloture proof.
