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.

The GREAT AMERICAN HERO - Sen. Jeff Sessions - is on now. Yields time to Sen. Dole.

THAT is why Specter is a terrible public servant. He was elected to work on behalf of the people, not the freakin’ Senate!

Kyl is lying though his teeth and should be ousted from office.

He knows there is no security to the Z Visas.

He is clearly in the tank for the business associations and their craving for legalized peasant labor.

Kyl is still claiming he needs a cloture vote so they can debate amendments? This is cloture vote number 4. *shakes head, words fail*

Kyl said "doing nothing is not an option"..

Huh? " When in doubt do nothing", Senator Kyl.

You are so right about that condescending award. But there are so many vying for it...

Kyl suffers from B.D.S. {Bob Dole Syndrome}.

Here is an update on Norm from the Washington Times:

Sen. Norm Coleman, Minnesota Republican, said he plans to vote to proceed with the debate, but expects another 60-vote showdown on another parliamentary maneuver, known as a "point of order." Mr. Coleman said if the bill is not changed to his liking by then, he could join in voting to block it.

Didn't Voin acknowledge on Hannity last night that he, Voin, hadn't even read the darn thing yet?

In fairness, no Senator is going to actually read any bill in its entirety. The staff is supposed to do that and prep their guy to be able to talk intelligently. Which V's staff obviously did not do.

Webb is totally out of his depth.

It's kind of curious that he was so visibly unnerved yesterday/

So far Feinstein has told me that:
a) The calls and emails etc. are going to be spun back as 'threats' made by all of us cave people who don't understand whats being done for us. And,
b) if this bill does not succeed there will be no action taken by congress on ANY immigration bill in the foreseeable future (Because 'no individual element will get 60 votes').

So, folks,
"They" know what is best for us,
They intend to stone wall anything incrementally if they fail in this,
They already have the cover story written (it was Bush and the Neanderthals),
And, 'bipartisan' means done in secret to be passed by fiat.
