They are getting pretty nervous. There are 25 Dems, they only need 21 votes, my guess is that the 4 most vulnerable walk out on this vote.

I called Tom Torlakson's office about this a couple of weeks ago. I believe he supports it. He seems to support everything I don't. The person who answered the phone just unloaded on me - apparently, she had received about 100 calls in 1/2 an hour, and claimed she had been threatened. Some also wished harm on her children by an illegal with a driver's license. It really sickens me when people take this tactic - it DOES NOT help our cause. And, in her agitation, I don't think she was too interested in what I said. She pretty much said a terse "Thank you" and hung up. Great.

The last set of Senate votes was 24-14. Two didn't vote (one from each party?). I think that was the version with the biometric data or whatever objectionable (to the illegal-alien-coddlers) section, although the democrats who complained about it still got in line to vote along their party-line. Yesterday's news said that the current version would easily pass in the state Senate today.
