Make that 17. Shelby is a good, conservative Republican. Maybe he just punched the wrong button or something. For the life of me, I can't figure out why he voted against that amendment yesterday.
I can't figure out why *any* of them voted against me.
Maybe Shelby is OK, but Brownback has turned into a complete RINO on this issue.

An elaborate game of chess is being played, perhaps. If the Senate bill holds that nothing can be done to address those already inside our borders until the southern border is "secure" maybe that would be a poison pill, stopping all progress, and leading to a continuation of the situation that exists today -- by claiming that the border would NEVER be secure, no matter how high the wall, etc.
Maybe, these Senators want to get Something into Conference so that status quo can begin to change.
