The GREAT AMERICAN HERO - Sen. Jeff Sessions - is on now. Yields time to Sen. Dole.

[ken5050]

An example of “Bipartisanship”//Spector AND Swimmer are each giving Sessions 5 minutes time..LOL

[.cnI redruM]

THAT is why Specter is a terrible public servant. He was elected to work on behalf of the people, not the freakin’ Senate!

[Guenevere]

****SESSIONS GETTING HIS 10 MINUTES NOW!!!!!!*****

Just yielded to SEN. DOLE

[angkor]

Kyl is lying though his teeth and should be ousted from office.

He knows there is no security to the Z Visas.

He is clearly in the tank for the business associations and their craving for legalized peasant labor.

[Greg F]

Kyl is still claiming he needs a cloture vote so they can debate amendments? This is cloture vote number 4. *shakes head, words fail*

[spectre]

Kyl said "doing nothing is not an option"..

Huh? " When in doubt do nothing", Senator Kyl.

Liddy got balls...I hope she lends them to Burr..

[romanesq]

You are so right about that condescending award. But there are so many vying for it...

[acoulterfan]

Dole: Illegal Aliens, LOL! Love it when they say alien!

[Cedric]

Kyl suffers from B.D.S. {Bob Dole Syndrome}.

[firewalk]

Thank you

[NordP]

Libby’s wearing white...I’m taking this as a sign!!! YES...this bill is dead... I feel it in my bones. SEE IT GONE...SEE IT IN YOUR MINDS EVERYONE. It shall be done.

[indcons]

bttt...calling him now.

Here is an update on Norm from the Washington Times:

Sen. Norm Coleman, Minnesota Republican, said he plans to vote to proceed with the debate, but expects another 60-vote showdown on another parliamentary maneuver, known as a "point of order." Mr. Coleman said if the bill is not changed to his liking by then, he could join in voting to block it.

[don-o]

Didn't Voin acknowledge on Hannity last night that he, Voin, hadn't even read the darn thing yet?

In fairness, no Senator is going to actually read any bill in its entirety. The staff is supposed to do that and prep their guy to be able to talk intelligently. Which V's staff obviously did not do.

[angkor]

Webb is totally out of his depth.

It's kind of curious that he was so visibly unnerved yesterday/

[manonfire]

The one and the only, Mr.Sessions on deck..

[norton]

So far Feinstein has told me that:
a) The calls and emails etc. are going to be spun back as 'threats' made by all of us cave people who don't understand whats being done for us. And,
b) if this bill does not succeed there will be no action taken by congress on ANY immigration bill in the foreseeable future (Because 'no individual element will get 60 votes').

So, folks,
"They" know what is best for us,
They intend to stone wall anything incrementally if they fail in this,
They already have the cover story written (it was Bush and the Neanderthals),
And, 'bipartisan' means done in secret to be passed by fiat.
