Even those that get up and say they are against amnesty for the benefit of the viewing audience can sneak in a yea vote, given the way they are handling the vote.

When a congressman says he reserves the right to revise, this means he can, and will change everything he said on the floor. So one saying he is for amnesty on the floor can revise his statement so if his constiuents call him on it, he can bring forth the phoney record saying that he was against it.

These guys are like watching a nest of snakes, there are more moves they can make, than an honest person can keep up with, like trying to watch which coconut hull the pea is under. We won't know until the yea's and nay's are called what the deal is.

Alright, so who is the parliamentary expert that knows what the outcome of that (on CPSAN) was just now?

The matter was postponed. Until when?

It was requested that an accounting of the yea's and nay's occur. Does that mean the voice-vote maneuver was thwarted?
