They don't want to pull the plug

From WorldNetDaily:

President Bush wants Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to resurrect the controversial immigration-reform bill that was pulled last night after a motion to cut off debate failed, White House adviser Dan Bartlett said today.

Asked about the bill as Bush prepared to leave the G8 Summit in Germany, Bartlett told CNN the president believes declaring it dead is premature, and he wants Reid to consider putting it back on the table.

The plan would allow millions of illegal aliens now within U.S. borders to pay a fine and become legal.

Bush plans to use a scheduled lunch with GOP senators Tuesday as part of a campaign by the White House and allies in both parties to placate or outmaneuver Republicans who blocked the measure, the Associated Press reported.

It didn't take me long to be proven right did it? Just this morning I said this:

Of course it isn't over. The White Hose says it isn't over and the bill's chief Senate supporter Mary Jo Kopechne's Killer (D-Mass.) says it isn't over so we can not afford to relax our vigilance.

Well here is the White House trying to breath life back into this legislative Frankenstein's Monster and right on cue Mary Jo Kopechne's Killer (D-Mass.) chimes in:

Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., came to sit by his disappointed father, Sen. Mary Jo Kopechne's Killer D-Mass., the chief sponsor of the immigration bill, as the Senate blocked it from coming to a vote Thursday night. Another key supporter of the bill, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., refused to speak to reporters.

"We're not giving up the game," the Killer of Mary Jo Kopechne told Senate colleagues.

Like the man said, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty".
