Here’s what Michelle Malkin has blogged about the amendments that have been called up to the desk:
SA 1492 and Dodd amendment SA 1493 to SA 1199.
Oh, nothing important. Don't you worry....
(1) Henceforth, all American citizens will be deported to Mexico, leaving all material belongings as property of the State.
(2) Teddy Kennedy shall reign as my able assistant, and from the Right Hand of mysaelf, Lucifer. George Bush and John McCain shall advise myself Lucifer from the Left Hand on all matters concering our new subjects from the South.
You forgot that included in one of Reid’s amendments is that Lindsay Graham shall be appointed official “Lewinsky to all that vote for the bill”.
I am going out on a limb here but I have to assume Dorgan is voting no. He is babbling without coming up for air and I am sick of him....next!
What time should the 2nd cloture vote be taken? Any schedule?
“What time should the 2nd cloture vote be taken? Any schedule?”
Schedules are for the lower house to use, not the Senate! :->
S.AMDT.1199 to S.1348 To increase the number of green cards for parents of United States citizens, to extend the duration of the new parent visitor visa, and to make penalties imposed on individuals who overstay such visas applicable only to such individuals.
Sponsor: Sen Dodd, Christopher J. [CT] (introduced 5/24/2007) Cosponsors (2)
Kennedy needed his drink(s) ... Blah, Blah, Blah ... Let’s get to the bar ... forget the vote ... a Scotch please!
Thanks for reply.
With bloviators like Dorgan running off on tangents this will take all night.
I’ll have to check during the Spurs-Cavs game.
Hoping the result hasn’t changed much but it will be interesting to see if anyone got bribed via benchmarks.
Graham sits at the left hand of McCain, who has already claimed Linds as his personal bee-och.
Heard there are more than 300 ammendmants. I don’t see how they will get this done today...........
Can I get an update...been busy and I hate walking in the middle of something.
However, you'll note that the Dems are not following their own rules here...and they are introducing last minute amendments that haven't even been put up on the website yet. At least I hope these aren't on paper napkins like some of the ones they've tried to sneak by this session!
There seem to be 327 amendments listed up until “S.AMDT.1475” (introduced yesterday). Now they are discussing 1492 and 1493 so that means there’s at least about 350, right?
This Bill Nelson’s vacation report?
From Michelle Malkin’s site:

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico – Javier Soto’s anxious face tells the story. He has to get to Waxahachie, where a construction job awaits him. But more important, he has to cross the Rio Grande before “the door closes” on him.
The quicker he gets into the U.S., the better his chances for “obtaining a permiso,” said Mr. Soto, 20, a native of El Salvador, who like many other immigrants is closely following the U.S. Senate debate on overhauling the nation’s immigration laws.
“We have to seize the moment because the last time immigrants were given an opportunity I was only a year old,” he said. That was in 1986 when President Ronald Reagan signed into law the Immigration Reform and Control Act...
...The Senate bill’s path to citizenship would require immigrants to prove employment, submit to a criminal background check and maintain a clean record, learn English and U.S. civics, plus pay a fine of about $5,000 and thousands more in fees to legalize. Heads of families would have to return to their home countries to apply for permanent residency. And earning citizenship could take up to 13 years.
“Do we have to be virgins, too?” quipped Oscar Antonio Perez Lopez, a 40-year-old Panamanian in Nuevo Laredo on his way to Miami. “Can you blame us for choosing to be illegal?”
Added Alejandra Vasquez, 47, of San Luis Potosi, Mexico: “Why can’t they take the money from our paycheck? Five thousand dollars is a bit much in one payment.”
Maybe he doesn’t realize that this is a debate about illegal immigration,jet lag I guess.
He probably figured he had to give the report sometime and as long as everyone is out to dinner, this would be a good time.
The picture on my media player look like a Salvador Dali painting.
just talking about what they passed yesterday
