If this whole sorry excercise of attempting to pass a great big convoluted all encompassing mess of a bill did anything for we the American people it was this...
It demonstrated that when we speak, when we speak clearly - we can force the Beltway to listen.
Of course it could be brought back for consideration in the fall - but that is not likely. And with 2008 looming, no one will touch this third rail.
NOW - where to?
I would like the House to now take up the issue of a PURE, border security measure! They have time to get this done prior to the election cycle, and if they make it something that's not all encompassing they should be able to get it in and out of committees, before the House, and over to the Senate before the end of the year.
C'mon guys and gals - get it done!
