#1 Long meaning until after the November elections. Long meaning that the public is boiling tar and they are getting a little scared. Long meaning that they think we have short attenction spans. Long meaning they need to actually do something this time cause the public is keeping lists and checking them twice.

#3 Anything to slow down the excreable Senate bill. Hastert has to do this to get the House version punched through.

#4 And expose all the hidden little goodies for illegals they stuck in. The Senate is beyond shame.

#5 Or long meaning just before the election so all the donks can run on their vote in contested districts. Since there are only about 45 districts, it won't take that long to do the polling. It's the televised hearings leading up to the vote that will take a lot of time.

#6 Frank, you're right. The Senate bill is a complete sham. Frisk has stacked the deck with RINOs. Haskert has no recourse.

#7 this per Robert Novak:

Immigration: House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) appears to be dragging his feet on compromising with the Senate's immigration bill. This is good news for House Republicans, considering the lessons of recent elections. Republicans win when they run away from Bush on immigration. If enough endangered House Republicans are arm-twisted into supporting a lax immigration bill, they will go down as a result.
The best outcome right now for the GOP, from a political perspective, is a failure to act, and that appears to be exactly what Hastert is encouraging.

#8 Can Tom Tancredo and JD Hayworth lead the house team in the conference committee?
