Call it what it is, openly hostile acts of overt treason.

There is no reason to try to coax along fencesitters here, tell them the truth, and tell them it is the higfest level of treason ever committed by the elected officials of a democratic republic, in the history of mankind.

The current Senate will go down in history as more despised than the Vichy regime. Even after the Vichy fell they had better support than the current US Senate. The destruction wrought on our economy will put the Spanish civil war to shame, some day soon Reid’s foreign economic lobbies will be exposed, and the Democrat and Republican party will be rightly called what they are, a fascist enclave protected by the Potomkin.

I have to believe that the House will look at the amendments, and that there will be lots of heat to vote this thing down - they are ALL up for reelection next year.

It is amazing - in the most disgusting sense of that word - that ANY Republican would vote for an amendment proposed by a Dem without reading it. For that matter ANY person who votes for ANY thing that they haven’t read is highly derelict in their duties. THAT ALONE qualifies them for being promoted to the private sector.

I hope the Dems are at least nice enough to send flowers to the Republicans after this. I suggest red roses to say "Thanks for letting us $&#* you and expecting to be able to $&#* you again" and white lilies to say "Sorry about you dying".

Any Republican who votes for cloture or for this bill should be considered as an "enemy, domestic".

SOP for the Dems. Back when Clinton won the White House, and his first two years the Dems controlled both houses of congress, they concocted the anuual budget bill, but behind closed doors and demanded that the Republicans vote for (or against) it sight unseen.

The Republicans held out, demanding to see it before they voted on it. According to the house rules, the Dems didnt have to show a copy of the bill untill the day before the vote. Which is what the Dems did, adding insult to injury, they waited untill the last minute before giving the Republicans a copy. They waited untill MIDNIGHT before distributing the copies. Some Reps didnt get their copy untill after midnight, in clear violation of the house rules, but naturally, the Dems got away with that too. Many Reps had to stay up the entire night TRYING to read the entire bill before the vote. None succeeded, far as I can recall.

“When Republicans asked if the amendment could be read once it was written, Reid objected because “it would take up too much time.”

Don’t bother your pretty heads over legalities, boys.
That’s what lawyers are for! Sign right there. And there,
and there, aaaaand we’ll get you a copy next month.

...yet there may be other mistakes and intentional omissions in the 373 page amendment.

Even if it was perfect, we all know the only part of this bill that'll be enforced is the amnesty for illegals. Five years from now there will be no fence, and they'll be trying to legalize a new 60 million dems -- oppps, I mean illegals.

Isn’t anyone in the Senate standing a screaming about this is not the way to make laws...in secret, behind closed doors and not letting the floor even read what it is they are voting on? I keep asking why this bill hasn’t gone through the committee process where “experts” and both sides can have their say and influence the actual bill. This isn't legislating, it is railroading and steamrolling...this is not how legislation should be made. This is a travesty!
