It looks like we'll defeat the immigration bill once again, but it's not over until the fat Senator (Kennedy) cries. He sang! The creep claimed that illegal immigrants would flood the border because we failed to pass this new law. They'll keep flooding until Bush enforces existing law, and the new law would have just invited more. The vote was 14 votes short of cloture. The losers who tried to force this down are throats are bitter.

What we learned is that the American people can make government work for them if we take the time and effort to get involved. We can overcome the special interests and the professional politicians when we want. We need to want to all the time. In 2008, we need to kick the professional politicians out of Washington so we can get term limits to keep them out. That's a good start.

Russia lays claim to the north pole and all it's natural resources include twice as much oil as Saudi Arabia. This an another Putin power grab. The international community won't stand for this.

Embattled Bush refuses to turn over documents related to wiretapping. Since we're in a war, I think he'll win this battle. If Congress wants Bush to stop the wiretapping, then need to first end the war. The Constitution is real clear on this. Congress declares war. The President fights war.

Bush also refuses subpoenas on attorneys. This is a political issue, and he's so unpopular right now he may not win. But then again, Congress is even more unpopular. It's funny to read that Bush is out of touch, when clearly all of Congress is even more out of touch. If Republicans turn on Bush over the immigration debacle, he's toast.

Because they're doing such a good job, Congressmen are seeking a pay raise. Have I mentioned we need to kick all the incumbents out?

Al Gore wins New Hampshire poll. I think Gore's ego is so big, that he won't recognize that entering the Presidential campaign will bring down his house of global warming cards all on top of his head. He'll think he can continue his scam even while running for President. He's made a ton of money off this scam.

Cato suggests we cave to Iranian demands to stop them from getting the bomb. This is negotiating with terrorists. The end result will be more nations holding the US hostage with their nuclear programs.

Cato reveals that the NSA has been collecting cell phone data on millions of Americans. If they're only mining the already available data for terrorists, that's OK, but Bush doesn't have the power to listen in on Americans at will even during wartime. Unfortunately, nobody will report what is actually being done. I respect libertarians on this issue, but Democrats fully supported Bill Clinton's obviously illegal wire-tapping of Americans in housing complexes supposedly in an effort to help the war on drugs, which was never a legal war.

Clinton official on Bush's domestic wiretaps - says their legal because of Clinton's Justice Dept. Rebuttal. Apparently there is now some backpeddling on the claim that Clinton used warrantless wiretaps. Finally, a nice summary of warrantless wiretaps and FISA law during our lifetime. An excellent look at the history of intercepting communications in the US going back to Washington.

James Pinkerton provides a rough indictment of the Kennedy/Bush/McCain immigration fraud and the people who support it.

So why would Bush, and the 64 senators who voted this week to move his immigration bill forward, be so eager to legalize the 12 million foreigners who came into this country illegally? And thereby encourage tens of millions more to come here in the future, by hook or crook, in full expectation of getting amnesty in a decade or two? What message does that send - beyond contempt for the rule of law and disdain for good citizenship?

The answer is clear: The ruling class in Washington wants to see the American people fractionalized and multiculturalized - that is, the small "r" republican experiment in popular sovereignty brought to an end. That might seem like a harsh interpretation, but what else explains the determination to bring in 100 million foreigners, according to the Heritage Foundation, to an America that fails to teach newcomers English, let alone civics?
