Teddy K is now talking about the 'undocumented' and their great usefulness. He sounds calm, rested and 'reasonable' while urging for a 'yes'.

Sen. Specre says that if they vote for the Cloture, they would see lots of improvements in amendments passed before the final vote. He also says that it's going to be a hard vote. He says that no one has 'something better'. They tabled yesterday's Webb's amendment to roll back the 'illegal entry date' for those that would become citizens to 4 years ago. I heard that Webb is pissed. He may vote 'nay' now.

Now Specter is insulting those who voted against the cloture before. He sounds angry now. It is as if expects that the 'yeahs' are going to be fewer than last time around.

Now Feinstein says that anyone who's against the bill must be either ignorant or stupid. This is 'loser' talk. She says that without this bill passing the country will be invaded by masked, impossible to trace or to stop and violent illegals. It's as if the country does not have any immigration laws today. She ends by begging the senators to vote 'yeah'.

Kyl says: vote for cloture and... 'trust us'. Some magic amendments that would address all problems can only be debated and voted on if... debate is limited by cloture. DeMint says: the supporters don't listen to the American people. Lindsay Graham says: it's impossible to guard the border unless the new bill is passed. He says that it's the Demos only who want to citizenize the illegals and the GOPs must pay the price so that the border is protected. If they vote 'nay', they will never have a bill this good. This is the very best of the best. Durban says: even if you oppose the law don't end this debate - so opposing the limiting of debate is 'ending the debate' :))))))) I think the Senate and the government proceedings have become so absurd, serious thought and action should be dedicated to terminating this monster. Vitter says: don't take us for fools. Repeating the mistakes of 1986 won't solve the problem. Promising enforcement after 30 years of no enforcement should not fool us. Unidentified senator opposed says: what part of 'no' don't we understand. The people of this country don't want this bill passed.

Kennedy is now screaming. He says: now is the time (Screaming). This is the place (screaming). Iraq and Afghanistan (Screaming). Future or past?

Martinez says: vote for this because it's going to cost almost nothing. It's gonna be real cheap. Specter says: those who don't like the bill and say that they represent the American people do not represent the American people. Those who call their offices are always nay-sayers but the real people are silent. Oh, and we don't run the country by 'public opinion polls'. Specter found a quote from a Brit in 1774 that supports the current bill.

Caught a segment on Faux Knews and Major Garrett was saying that it looks like cloture will not pass. We shall know soon...
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
i'd like to know who that is.
i'm gritting my teeth. specter is a total traitor. he deserves hanging.
Specter is again insulting those who voted or would vote 'nay'. He says that he has the evidence that 23 senators changed their votes for nefarious reasons yesterday on some amendment yesterday. Oh???? The majority leader says that 'immigration is a problem across America' (not a local one). I thought that immigration was a blessing, not a problem. But... LOL... he can't say ILLEGAL immigration. His own family has ben 'enriched' by immigration (his wife is Jewish).

The magic bullet keeps on striking again and again.
Ron Paul. President. Spread the Word.
Reed is still wearing a watch passed onto him by his daddy or dady in law (anyone who watched 'Pulp Fiction' would know why I started laughing when he mentioned that). Reed's children are eligible for Israeli citizenship, says Reed. Nice! My heart is melting like a popsicle. Oh, Reed's skin is white, says Reed. His skin is 'American skin' (made in China?). I thought that this bill was only for legalizing the illegal immigrants, not the consumption of illegal drugs.

Harry Reid is just plain pathetic. What a waste and disappointment to those that voted for a democrat congress.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Reed says: if you vote for cloture you vote for a more perfect union.

Amendment-laden immigration bill in peril WASHINGTON, June 28 (UPI) -- The fate of the fractious immigration reform bill in the U.S. Senate was shakier Thursday after the chamber voted down amendments and lost supporters. The bill, which U.S. President George Bush is pushing to pass, has 26 amendments from Democrats seeking to soften some restrictions and Republicans wanting to stiffen them. Each of the amendments has supporters, most of whom have said their overall votes will be tied to the amendments' passage, and Wednesday saw many fence-sitters fall away as their projects were voted down, The Washington Post reported. One major amendment rejected was a Republican proposal to require adult illegal immigrants to return to their countries temporarily to qualify for a special new visa, the Post said. Newcomer Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., told The New York Times the situation was perplexing. "I feel like Goldilocks," McCaskill said. "It is either too hot or too cold. It is certainly not just right."

First count: yes - 19 no - 21

And Webb switched to 'nay'. He disappointed me last time because he voted 'yeah'. I think it's going down.

I don't suppose there's a song about 19 bullets...
Oh good, I can like him again.
Current tally (updated as they are calling the votes: 24 yeahs, 30 nays

31 - no 25 - yes

What does a tie mean? Cheney steps in his non-executive capacity?
This is taking too long.
Cheney can not vote on this one.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
At least 38 nays so far. 38 nay, 30 yeahs
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
44 - no Unless someone changes their no vote, the immigration bill is DEAD!!!
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
50 NO!
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
dead is the important word for today
I think I am getting a big delay on the C-Span feed. I got to 50 nays now. It would be so much fun to listen to the post-mortem speeches and to the inevitable Bush commentary about, maybe, the senators refusing to do the work that the American people wants them to do.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
They need 60 ayes, so this is dead.
52 - nay I wish the Senate keep a running tally like the House does.
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Wow... a majority of nays. The M-Fers must have gotten really scared. This explains the acrimony in Specter's talk and the ridiculous, possibly drugs-induced Reed speech about his children as possible Israeli citizens/.

Cable news is announcing the immigration bill is finished. Good job all!!!
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
I believe I just heard Voinovich vote no... Didn't he have a dust-up with Hannity yesterday supporting the bill?
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
Final Vote: 46 - yes 53 - no
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
I wonder if when they saw the way the vote was going more decided to vote No. 53 No 46 Yes
Vinovich for 'surrender' in Iraq yesterday, against amnesty today... what's happening? Did he detect some change in political winds? 53 nays, 46 yeahs - the official tally. Reed is now mourning.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
No doubt. Why go on record as supporting a lost cause if the cause was lost?
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
and piss off your constituents at the same time
Byrd is talking about how old he's getting. Good grief.
