Is somebody listening to the Senate right now?
Reid is giving Frist a taste of their game by preventing amendments to come to the floor for the Immigration Bill.

Of course, Frist and Specter are playing "outrage" as if they had not done the same previously. Fun to watch.

Unfortunately, as always, Reid will be the loser of the game because he just looks as a jealous guy throwing a tantrum and of course, all Republicans are coming on the floor to say that. Hopefully, nobody is going to watch that because WE look partisan and not ready to work on the business of the country.

I really hate Reid.

I commented on the JK on Cspan now thread.

What's in the water over there today? Domenici is acting like a spoiled brat having a tantrum.

2. The problem is the Kyl amendment that would kill the Kennedy Bill

in effect.

However, Reid is the one who looks bad here. I wished it was Durbin speaking because Reid actually said they were doing that because the Republicans did that to them.

The good news is that Domineci actually looked bad because Reid was so bad that until now WE were the ones looking bad.

3. That must have been some Dem Caucus today!
Wish I was a 'fly on the wall' for that one.

Reid said that? No higher rhetoric about the Kyl Amendment being wrong for country and the Repubs being arrogant little SOBs who think they can do whatever they want, democracy be damned. Oh dear! Methinks Harry needs to go back to Stategy School.

5. Being a C-spanaholic
I saw exactly what the Democrats were doing. Reid was right and it is true, they are getting a taste of their own medicine.

If the Kyl-Coryn admendment passes it will destroy a good bill. Frist started this shit by putting his own bill on the floor. Coryn and Kyl both voted against the bill that came out of committee, its the Republicans playing their games again. Pure and simple.

Domenici sounded like a hypocrite, my God we all know exactly what the Republicans have done to stop Dems from getting anything in any of the bills.

6. So what happened
If the legalization process is watered down it will turn this bill into a revolving door of exploitable labor, pretty much a repeat of the Marianas. I'm really trying to figure out what it is they want American workers to do, if they want all labor to go to immigrants. I just don't get it.
