I love it when a bad bill dies.

VICTORY! Amnesty Bill Falls Following Rejection of Senate Cloture Vote

(June 28) Shortly after 11 a.m. today, by a 46 to 53 margin, the Senate rebuffed amnesty when it failed to invoke cloture on S. 1639, the so-called "grand bargain" immigration bill. Subsequently, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) indicated that he would pull the bill from further consideration after Sens. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.), Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), and others had sought to ram the bill through using an arcane procedural method instead of subjecting the proposal to committee and public scrutiny.



President Bush was really wanting this clunker to become law. I even heard one commentator make a statement about "Bush'es legacy - 'No Illegal Immigrant Left Behind' ". Sometimes politics can be quite funny.
