Title: The Great American Sellout Has Died A Second Death Post by: Soldier4Christ on June 28, 2007, 11:51:06 AM The Great American Sellout Has Died A Second Death
The much anticipated 3rd cloture vote on the Senate Immigration Reform Bill has resulted in a 3rd no vote on cloture. Sen. Harry Reid has once again promised to pull the bill from the floor. One can only hope it stays in its grave this time. The final tally was 53 - 46 against cloture. 60 votes are required to invoke cloture and limit debate. For the 3rd time this bill has failed miserably to achieve that number. According to Sen. Jeff Sessions the Sgt at Arms of the Senate informed him that the volume of calls coming in to the Capital crashed the phone system. It seems that the Senators are finally listening to America. We do not want this or any other bill that grants amnesty. The forces in favor of cloture on The Great American Sellout controlled 60 minutes of debate time prior to the beginning of the cloture vote. Of which, the time was evenly split between a Democratic Leader and a Republican Leader, both in favor of cloture. Of that 30 minutes each, they each allotted 5 minutes to the opposition. So those who oppose cloture got 10 minutes to make their case to block cloture. This is democracy? Not hardly Mr. Reid. (by the very people wanting the Fairness Doctrine.)
