Didn't know it was so easy to violate the Budget Act, eh? But then again, anarchy seems to be the order of the day as of late.

No. The budget point of order was raised. That could have stopped the bill in its tracks, so they had to vote to waive the budget resolution, in other words, bust the budget in order to continue with the immigration bill. So they voted to bust the budget (that they already approved) by a vote of 76-31

Still voting...but here's something to ponder:
Does John McCain EVER vote with Republicans on ANYTHING?
Listening just to the roll so far- and there's McCain..with Kennedy, Kerry...etc.

Ok, it was "approved" not defeated.
Bush and the lobbies have been working overtime in buying votes I suspect. MSM providing support demonizing opponents as rude, extremists, etc.

No- that one failing was not a good thing- it was a tricky question though- can read at the top of the thread.

Hello,
Color me confused, would you or someone here explain what just happened? I ask because what I get is that a majority of the Senate voted that this crap must be passed, regardless of the impact on the budget. Did I get that right?
Glad to be here, MOgirl

As I said, they won't vote to make tax cuts permanent. But they will vote to give illegal aliens billions of our tax dollars, our hard-earned money that's rightfully ours. That's brazen theft - never mind the fact they just busted the budget caps to make it happen. It shows where the Senate's priorities are.

Hello,
Heaven help us, if the House doesn't stand up to this, we are done. (And I am not a person to say that easily). What a Just Damn moment in our history...
Glad to be here, MOgirl

Ain't that just peachy?

Bingo!
If you scroll up maybe 15 posts or so- you'll get the general idea of the INSANITY.
