The most critical amendment was that of Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.), to restrict legalization of violent felons and gang members. That amendment failed 51 to 46

Does the U.S. Senate have no shame whatsoever? Has it really gotten so bad that an amendment to restrict legalizing violent illegal alien felons and gang members was defeated? How could you vote against that? Are those the "hard working people doing the jobs Americans just won't do", that BS line Bush and Kennedy keep shoving down all our throats?

Lott, Chambliss, Isakson and whoever else defected from their stances just last year most likely did so because the White House called them and threatened to take away pork projects or whatever if they didn't. They strongarm these people, forcing them to be good soldiers.

I thought for a second that I was reading something that I wrote. We all seem to feel the same way. What is wrong with the Senate?
