I need to take back some of what I said earlier.

It seems that ending the debate by supporting cloture, has left the door open for a final vote that looks like it will kill this stinger of a bill.

Senators like Brownback, who voted for cloture appear willing to now vote against the bill. If the point here is to force a vote, then both sides think they have the votes to either support it or kill it. And right now it appears the GOP has a slight advantage in killing it.

So after complaining about cloture, we may still get what we want, which is for this bill in it’s entirety to be voted down.

Being a resident of the State of Kansas, I have let Senator Brownback know of my displeasure with his votes. Ironically, the slightly more liberal (not by much) Senator Roberts is fighting it tooth and nail. I think I’ll vote for myself next time Brownback runs. RandomDan, for US Senate: he sucks the least.

The idea of granting citizenship to people who could not bother to do things legally boils my beer and I hate to see good beer wasted. I am not against legal immigration and maybe we could stand to make immigration easier again, but I am dead set against rewarding people who have engaged in illegal activities.

Brownback’s vote is a real shocker. He’s trying to straddle the fence. And we all know usual consequences of that tactic. Stuff like this is going to hurt him more than help.
