The explosives – […]

I was in meetings all day, but I suspected the vote would not make it based on some early morning indications. I will be looking at the votes but it would seem more far left and far right folks moved to leave us in the same mess we have had for 20+ years. Well, there […]

There is a lot of speculation running out there that the immigration bill will fail its cloture vote test this morning. Clearly it will be close.
