Live Thread: Senate Amnesty Debate (CRITICAL 2ND CLOTURE VOTE TODAY!) Woo hoo!! It's DEAD!!
The U.S. Senate with Free Republic Input | June 28, 2007 | truthkeeper

Posted on 06/28/2007 6:25:57 AM PDT by truthkeeper

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.

Spector: To do nothing is Silent Amnesty. To do nothing will be Anarchy

That is a false choice.

'“China” Mitch McConnell thinks he'll tell us go to hell, vote for amnesty and keep his senate seat'

"The following articles and brief summaries create a detailed history of China Mitch,
his wife Chao and their sordid relationships with corporate contributors and foreign governments
at the expense of America and its Citizens the people he was elected to serve but chose to betray."

At 9:00:01 I called my two useless Senators, Dumb and Dumber, errr Biden and Carper, once again to tell them to vote “no” on cloture.

Please say a prayer for our country and thank God for His mercies, then call your Senators and give ‘em hell!

Ensign Is a No [NR Staff] -- He appears to be the fifth senator to change his vote from yes to no.

High five!

I would wager Webb votes for Cloture, FWIW.

I think so too. On Monday he wasn't really sure who his constituency was. Maybe immigrants? Maybe Muslims? Who knows, they're all claiming ownership of poor Jim Webb.

But after his Tuesday night cloture vote, I think he got an unambiguous clarification about who suppports him, and who will be committed to destroying him if he votes for this thing.

He was very nervous and looked sick at the podium yesterday.

He got the message.

Feinstein in my favorite color - Bright Periwinkle.

She is the guns behind this bill! Her and Ted are “hooked at the hip”.

Exactly! And the knowledge that illegals will be deported may be a detterent to those who would otherwise try to illegally sneak in to the country.

However, if there is no fear of being deported, that will only encourage more to sneak in.

That bi@ch Feinstein is on now. Talking about threats and the fact that the rubes just don’t understand.

According the Malkin and NRO : Burr, Webb, Bond, Domenci, Nelson are all NO’s. This BILL IS DEAD !

It appears that Ensign (R-NV) is a NO, as well.

"WHY NOT? We've never tried it -- let's give it a try before saying 'it can't be done! '"

If the "undocumented community" can say "we can do it" or "si, se puede" why can't we?

I'm sick of the we can't do it attitude of our Senators.

But I do so love the Bard.

As do I.

Diane Feinstein up now looking mournful and wearing a deep purple suit. "I know some of the calls that have been made and I know some of the THREATS that have been made. Many people DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE BILL."

Oh, the gall of these people. What hubris!

Vitter: "Bush and others are ONLY mentioning enforcement to get this bill passed. If it passes, you'll never hear "enforcement" mentioned again.."WOW.."

Sounds to me like the capital in Bush's political bank account is down to ZERO..

Diane Feinstein - opponents of this bill are against national security.
