You know what the most alarming part of all this is?

The early vote had 33 members of the Senate voting for cloture.

The most recent vote had 45 members voting for it.

The arm-twisting and favor-trading must have been huge!

If the pro-amnesty supporters know that they can change 12 votes in that short of time, they’ll keep pushing this bill - albeit in a more behind the scenes manner.

Exactly. We must keep up the pressure to make sure this travesty does not sneak up on us when nobody is paying attention.
