The Senate's three Democratic presidential hopefuls — Hillary Rodham Clinton, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden and Barack Obama — voted to advance the bill. Among Republicans, John McCain voted to keep the measure alive and Sam Brownback did likewise before changing his vote after defeat was obvious.

Harry Reid is the biggest bullshit artist I've seen in in a long time - Why the hell can't the enforcement parts of this issue be passed now? Let the damn Congressmen work overtime like the rest of us.

How long can it take for a copy/paste and fastrack the bill through to a vote?
