Here we are again my friends, hopefully for the last debate thread on this particular monstrous legislation. Proceedings are supposed to begin at 9:30 a.m. EST, with the cloture vote being taken at 10:30 a.m.

On a personal note, you've all been wonderful in your passion, vigilance, and commitment to the principles on which our country was founded. If I have to be in a foxhole, I want to be in it with you guys.

Byrd is allowed to speak for 20 minutes??!!

Time to clean the bathrooms....

I believe this is just a vote on whether to stop debate on the bill....not whether to pass it or not.

You are correct, but Reid will pull the bill again since he can't have it his way. This should effectively kill the bill.

[TomGuy]

So, I guess we won't see GW at the bill signing.

Why on eath did Sanders vote no?

[Fresh Wind]

Voinovich voted “No”...

Does this mean he will apologize to Hannity for hanging up on him?

I just take it that Brownback, Warner, Voinovich, etc. can learn! (Pollyanna, goody two shoes that I am)

VonoITCH is intimidated by the alphabet.

Byrd “Head on...I hate your commercials, but ...

[Man50D]

Great news!!!!!!!!!! We need to be vigilant. I heard this past week Bush may attempt to tack elements of the amnesty bill onto other bills. Can anybody confirm?

[Political Junkie Too]

Who was the missing vote?

[truthkeeper]

And now I can REALLY say it:

"See ya at the funeral, President Bush!"

[JeffAtlanta]

Because the dims are sooo much better?

Because the GOP and the Dems are on the same team. If you can't see that by now, you haven't been paying attention.

[Scarchin]

Retirement speech?

[ken5050]

Bernie wanted unlimited family members to be able to come here...he felt the bill was cruel..

[KC Burke]

I would like to thank you all for attending the early brunch session of the Lindsey Grahamn RETIREMENT PARTY.

I know, I know, you thought it was a Live Thread Vote Analysis, but it was really Lindsey's big send off.

Lindsey, you were first widely known in the Impeachment Committee and showed such promise for focus. But, little did we know that the focus you sought was on you and not on the Nation.

Please accept this Watch as our token of appreciation.

With this Lindsey, you can call everyone and tell them they just didn't understand what you were trying to do because those protecting the Nation were such stupid bigots.
