LIVE Open thread: Senate to vote on Gang of Eight bill at 5:30 ET
Hot Air ^ | June 24, 2013 | Allahpundit

To be more specific, they’re voting on the bill plus the Corker/Hoeven amendment. My prediction: 72 yes votes, despite the phony border-security “triggers” and despite the fact that the bill now reeks of “Cornhusker Kickback”-style buyoffs to bring fencesitting Republicans on board. No matter. Schumer’s goal was 70 and I expect he’ll get it, which will help him with his exciting new “there’ll be mass demonstrations if the House doesn’t pass this thing” talking point.

Did you know that amnesty for illegals is a “civil rights” issue? You do now:

“This has the potential of becoming the next major civil rights movement. I could envision in the late summer or early fall if Boehner tries to bottle the bill up or put something in without a path to citizenship — if there’s no path to citizenship, there’s not a bill — but if he tries to bottle it up or do things like that, I could see a million people on the Mall in Washington,” Schumer said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Schumer said business leaders, evangelical leaders and CEOs of high tech companies would join the public call for action by the House on immigration.

He’s kidding himself if he thinks that summer will bring pressure on the House to pass, rather than kill, the bill, but never mind that......

I am in DE, but I called Sessions’ DC office this afternoon to say “thank you” for his hard work to derail this thing.

Right after I called my two worthless sacks of sh#t Senators who are both Dem traitors.

Listened to a video of what’s happened in Britain with the Muslim population...it’s sickening.

They’ve had small communities taken over completely and then they post signs it’s a Sharia Law in Force. ..no drinking, no this no that etc....the people move out rather than fight them because they’re afraid of them.

The guy warns Americans....but as with Obama...nobody wants to hear this.

>>Corny is only conservative when he has an election coming up<<

You bet and I hope like heck that we have a primary candidate come next year.

If Cornyn did not have to face voters in a few months, he'd go along to get along.

Maybe the requirement to read it aloud and the waiver don’t apply to amendments, but only to the final vote? Just a guess.

Well, this is going to work out well for the remaining stalwarts of the GOPe’s now...The majority will fall to the influx of Ron Paul Libertarian types, that will complete the failure of the GOP as some of us knew it to be...

Amazing that we are going to see the conservative movement in this country destroyed by forces within the political party that USED to represent how conservatives believed...

I guess it makes it easy now...On what we need to do from here on out...

Couldn't McConnell stopped this? It's a lost cause - remember what Weeper Jonnie said - he supports the Hastert rule, BUT ONLY FOR THE VOTE BEFORE THE CONFERENCE.
