UPDATE: Actually, no, not enough said. Add today's Senate vote on S2611 to the wagon-circling antics of the last couple days (separation of powers? No, Mr. Hastert, our system of checks and balances is made to ensure that one branch of government can't get away with things such as believing they are above the law), and not a single incumbant on my ballot gets a vote in November. Not one.
And Judd Gregg gets a nay when he's up again.
Yes, we are a nation of immigrants and what the Senate did today is disrespect every immigrant who ever came to America and played by the rules in order to give themselves, their family (and thus, you) a better life. That immigrant may be you, your parents, your grandparents... somewhere in your ancestry there are good, honest, hardworking people who came to America from somewhere else - and 62 senators just call them suckers and spit in their faces.
Here are those "distinguished" ladies and gentlemen who need to be tossed to the curb in November: Akaka (D-HI), Bingaman (D-NM), Cantwell (D-WA), Carper (D-DE), Chafee (R-RI), Clinton (D-NY), Conrad (D-ND), Dayton (D-MN), DeWine (R-OH), Feinstein (D-CA), Frist (R-TN), Jeffords (I-VT), Kennedy (D-MA), Kohl (D-WI), Lieberman (D-CT), Lugar (R-IN), Menendez (D-NJ), Nelson (D-FL), Sarbanes (D-MD), Snowe (R-ME)
They can deny this all they want (and they will) but this is amnesty, pure and simple. Rewarding bad behavior only encourages more. Hopefully the House will have more sense, but somehow, I doubt it.
