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.

Unfortunately too many folks are much more focused on Paris Hilton’s appearance on Larry King last night.

The spin is making me dizzy. My kids said, “It sounds like they’re pretending to be anti-illegals.” Yeah. Smoke and mirrors are SOP in the Senate.

They probably won't want us outlanders going door-to-door, but we can stuff envelopes at HQ.

Graham just stated that the Democrats will never allow a fence to be built!

Yep, just like pro wrestling, Graham is trying to create a phony rift to get the camp in line. I hope we as a group have had our eyes opened to this.

Dear Truthkeeper:

Marines. at least, now refer to the foxhole as 'fighting holes.'

I agree, and think the term more apt.

Fight on!

Will any of the permanent ruling class ever mention the Constitution on invasion? It's right there in black and white.

U.S. Constitution, Article 4 Section 4:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,

and shall protect each of them against Invasion;"

---

Invasion: \In*va"sion\, n. [L. invasio: cf. F. invasion. See Invade.] [1913 Webster]

1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.

[JFC]

Amen... May we never FORGET!

[LachlanMinnesota]

WHAT IS THE PRICE BEING PAID FOR THIS BILL BY THIS GOVERNMENT!!!

[indcons]

Sen. Sessions is on now. Giving facts and figures.

[Illuminatas]

a little more inspiration....

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!
“Charge for the guns!” he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

But he “respects us in the morning”

voting for tax cuts, and killing this bill may make the conservative base stomach her as a running mate. just a thought.

The Somalian invasion of Maine has probably tempered her enthusiasm for immigration.

I suspect he is somehow involved

Could be. Allen is an absolute disaster for this state, but he’s well known and will be well funded. However, if Collins does the right thing today, I’d love to see here run ads against Allen. Saying that he supports amensty for illegals. She might get 70% of the vote.

[rjp2005]

There u go Sessions - keep punching!!

[Cedric]

Okay. Let’s keep track.

[Buzzm1]

Can any South Carolinians please tell us this guy is toast next year?

Hell, I'll fly to SC and help you campaign against him.

[reagan_fanatic]

Graham: “American people don’t understand.”

What a pompous a-hole.

[mewzilla]

Speaking of Salazar....

Senate Agrees to Salazar Amendment
