Now we can get back to the reality of the day: Bush is a criminal and something has to be done about it.

26. Actually, They Got Only 46 |
|
Edited on Thu Jun-28-07 10:49 AM by stirlingsliver
The final vote was 46 for cloture and 53 against cloture.
60 votes were needed to invoke cloture -- that is, to end debate and procede to a vote on the bill itself.
So the people supporting the bill only got 46 (out of 60 needed).

|
I don't find 'illegals' a problem at all. Now it's just the status quo.

14. Yes. I am pro-immigration but anti-human trafficking. |
|
This bill amounted to little more than slavery. I'm glad it went down, although I disagree completely with most of the people who opposed it.

31. The great irony is that the "tremendous blow" to corporate |
|
America was delivered by the repubs who voted against the bill 36-12, while the Dems voted for the bill (for corporate America?) 33-15.

21. I know many DUers support |
|
but I don't because it doesn't do anything to employers. It's a huge french kiss to chimp's base, and we can do better. So if it really is failing, I'm glad both on the merits of the bill and because it's a defeat for the worst "president" of all time.
