Michelle has the story and is live blogging the proceedings on C-Span 2. Flap is watching too.
While we are waiting for the vote for cloture (in about 30 minutes) here are some dire predictions for success of this bill moving forward.
Illegals bill loses support in Senate.
Senate Immigration Reform Bill Takes Step Toward the Grave.
New Senators Resist Overhaul of Immigration.
Immigration Measure Appears Imperiled Again. Shamnesty in deep, deep doo-doo.
And here are some numbers for last minute phone calling (if you are not already too frustrated to continue to call):
Christopher Bond (R-MO) (202) 224-5721
Sam Brownback (R-KS) (202) 224-6521

Mitch McConnell (R-KY) (202) 224-2541
Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) (202) 224-6665
The Senate should KILL THIS BILL NOW….. and then go after the Masters of the Universe that sponsored this Shamnesty.
Stay tuned………
