From MyWay News:
The Senate drove a stake Thursday through President Bush's plan to legalize millions of unlawful immigrants, likely postponing major action on immigration until after the 2008 elections.
The bill's supporters fell 14 votes short of the 60 needed to limit debate and clear the way for final passage of the legislation, which critics assailed as offering amnesty to illegal immigrants. The vote was 46 to 53 in favor of limiting the debate.
Reports are that the Senate switchboard was shut down due to the huge number of calls coming in on this. Most Americans apparently recognize how important the border and the rule of law is.
You might have heard Senator George Voinovich (R-OH) melt down on Sean Hannity's radio show yesterday afternoon when Hannity boxed him in with uncomfortable questions. I listened to most of it, and you could tell Voinovich knew he was sucking wind and looking for a way out...but there was none. So he finally hung up. He hadn't read the amnesty bill, didn't have a grasp on the problem, and wasn't willing to uphold law and order.
