Looks like Republican discipline, for a change and five DINOs who need to be reelected. This is a super majority of 60.

It is getting a little more encouraging and I am breathing a little easier at the moment.

To: WorkerbeeCitizen
if they wanted to do whats right for this country they would simply Enforce existing law. You hit the nail on the head; Let the Border Patrol do its job. In the first year of the Clinton Administration the flow of Illegals had all but stopped. Then a Presidential letter restricted the Border Patrol from operating more than sixty miles from the border was signed by Clinton. They also stopped filing on the people who hired Illegals
Political contributions from contractors and people who wanted cheap labor had spoken.
They still operate under those orders.
Illegals do not stop in cotton fields or cabbage patches, why work for nothing, they head straight to well paying jobs in construction and with companies that will hire them. Think I'm wrong, tell me the last time you saw a raid on a job sites.

To: Borax Queen
as the day wore on, staffers on Capitol Hill and lobbyists interested in the issue read through the 525 pages of legislation. By late last night, leaders on both sides of the aisle told reporters that they were highly doubtful that the Hagel-Martinez legislation would survive a vote scheduled for today. If the compromise does not garner enough votes to move forward, senators will have an opportunity to give conservatives what they've always wanted by voting on a border-security-only bill introduced last month by Mr. Frist. ping

At least our two Beloved Senators (R-NC) got the right message before casting their votes...

Bill Nelson surprises me because he's a lib of the first order. I've been applying the heat to him; looks like plenty of my fellow Floridians have also. Martinez, on the other hand, is just an all 'round disappointment.

That's obviously not a vote on the Specter-McCain't-Kennedy, since Specter and McCain't voted against it. But just so you know, these are the party switchers:
American Democrats:
Byrd (WV)
Conrad (ND)
Dorgan (ND)
Nelson (FL)
Nelson (NE)
Openly "post-American" Republicans:
Bush (CoC)

Graham is MUCH more conservative than DeWhine, Voinovich, Hegel* or WarnerBros. MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH more conservative. The major moderate thing he has done is joined the Group of Seven... and that ploy did not fail (although maybe only because Bush refused to test it by nominating only "stare-decisis" judges).

Well, maybe all the emails I wrote had some effect (for a change)
No, they didn't. Congressional staffs automatically disregard emails. Phone calls will work, emails/letters/faxes will not.
