To be more specific, theyre 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. Schumers goal was 70 and I expect hell get it, which will help him with his exciting new therell be mass demonstrations if the House doesnt 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 theres no path to citizenship, theres 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 CNNs 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.
Hes kidding himself if he thinks that summer will bring pressure on the House to pass, rather than kill, the bill, but never mind that......

Honest grammicable mistake...I make so many myself it seems kinda hypocritical of me to criticize on that issue...
This is such a hot button issue that is coming to head now...This bill WILL pass in the Senate...
It will be up to us to exert as much pressure as we can to the conservatives that are left in Congress to hold the line, that my confidence (in that body) is very low...
I believe it is ever prudent that we start now to get on the horn with our congress-critters and really tighten the screws on them till it hurts them...
BUMP
Good job.
