VICTORY!!! The amnesty monster is DEAD!
Today is a day of victory for national sovereignty.
Today is a day of victory for legal immigration.
And today is a day of victory for the rule of law.
The awful monster called the Amnesty Bill is dead.
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 monster didn't even get a majority of votes (motion to invoke cloture). It died 46-53. I'm grateful to say that both of my senators (Cornyn and Hutchison) voted to kill the monster. But Teddy Kennedy couldn't leave the issue alone. He issued this threat.
"Year after year, we've had the broken borders," said Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. "Year after year, we've seen the exploitation of workers."As always, Mary Jo Kopechne remains unavailable for comment.
After the vote, he said: "It is now clear that we are not going to complete our work on immigration reform. That is enormously disappointing for Congress and for the country." Kennedy, a chief proponent of the bill, said, "we will be back. This issue is not going away." [emphasis mine]

It is a good day. Any day that you can live free is good. Doubly good is that the House defeated 3-1 the Fairness Doctrine amendment to the FCC appropriations bill (at least for this year).
Perhaps Michael Savage is right, perhaps this really is the reawakening of the American people, that the electorate is beginning to pay attention to the elite and demand accountability.
Just in time for John McClain and Optimus Prime!
