This was a vote to end debate on the Immigration Amnesty bill (S.1348) two weeks ago before it could be weakened further by opponents' amendments, so that it could be pushed through for passage.
[ The Amnesty bill has since been re-numbered and re-introduced onJune 18, 2007, now as S.1639. The U.S. Senate calendar indicates that S.1639 will be taken up on Tuesday, June 26, 2007. http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=senate_calendar&docid=sc001

and the fraudulent impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton:
www.trosch.org/for/masonic-sym.html
[additional emphasis added]
The power of the Masonic bond was evidenced in the impeachment trial of President Clinton. In high school Clinton had been president of the Masonic youth group De Molay and in 1988 was inducted into the International De Molay Hall-of-Fame. Three Senators, all 33rd degree Masons, were instrumental in his acquittal: Majority Leader Trent Lott limited the time and the number of witnesses available to the House prosecutors; Republican Arlen Specter led the 10 Republican Senators who voted to acquit; Democrat Robert C. Byrd, although publicly acknowledging Clinton's guilt, actually voted for acquittal, and set the example for all other Democrats.
The secret oaths and insoluble bonds of Freemasonry bring them ever closer to their ultimate goals the destruction of Christianity and the establishment of a pagan New World Order. [emphasis added]

[Page: S8158] GPO's PDF
---
CLOTURE MOTION
Mr. REID. Mr. President, if I could do a little bit of business, and I will yield to the distinguished Senator from Delaware.
I was going to ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the consideration of S. 1639, the immigration legislation, at a time to be determined by the majority leader following consultation with the Republican leader. However, I am advised there would be an objection from the Republican side, so I am not going to ask for that unanimous consent.
Therefore, I move to proceed to Calendar No. 208, S. 1639, and I send a cloture motion to the desk.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The cloture motion having been presented under rule XXII, the Chair directs the clerk to read the motion.
[Page: S8159] GPO's PDF
The legislative clerk read as follows: Cloture Motion
We, the undersigned Senators, in accordance with the provisions of rule XXII of the Standing Rules of the Senate, do hereby move to bring to a close debate on the motion to proceed to Calendar No. 208, S. 1639, Immigration. Ted Kennedy, Russell D. Feingold, Daniel K. Inouye, Tom Carper, Sheldon Whitehouse, Pat Leahy, Richard J. Durbin, Benjamin L. Cardin, Ken Salazar, Frank R. Lautenberg, Joe Lieberman, Dianne Feinstein, John Kerry, Charles Schumer, Ben Nelson, B.A. Mikulski.
Mr. REID. I now ask unanimous consent that the mandatory quorum required under rule XXII be waived, and I therefore withdraw the motion.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ______________________________________________
Foreign Invasion and War are two of God's "end-game" judgments upon wicked nations that shed innocent blood (2 Kings 24:1-4), as the United States of America has done for over 34 years, murdering over 47 Million (www.ldi.org) pre-birth children while in the God-designed sanctuary of their mothers' wombs:
2 Kings 24:1-4, KJB:
"In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up,..."
"And the LORD... sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servants the prophets."
"Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;"
"And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon."
www.kingjamesbible.com/B12C024.htm
God is not mocked, America. "Blood toucheth blood" (Hosea 4:2). We have sown bloodshed in the womb, and we are already reaping bloodshed on the streets, of America and Iraq. God is recompensing us blood for blood for our national sin of child-murder-by-abortion (e.g., Columbine, 9-11, Iraq, Katrina, VA Tech,...), just as He did in the War Between Americans (1861-1865) for the national sin of chattel slavery, borne of the capital crime of man-stealing (Exodus 21:16), and followed by generations of brutality, bloodshed, and injustice against Black people.

As America considers the twin major national security issues of:
1) millions of illegal aliens already having entered our country, and
2) the disaster from the undeclared, and therefore unconstitutional, and therefore illegal; as well as unjustified (no 9-11 connection, no WMD's), and therefore unnecessary (not a "just" war), and therefore immoral War in Iraq, REMEMBER:
It is God alone Who can bring peace and security to a land (Lev. 26:5,6)...
Foreign invasion and War are divine consequences upon a nation,any nation, for the shedding of innocent blood (e.g., 2 Kings 24:1-4)...
As has been said, it's now Christ, or Chaos (and then Tyranny)...
Mr. Mike Warren, Rochester, NY, minister and pro-life leader:
"True repentance is not possible until the truth regarding the need of repentance is comprehended."
How many Christians understand the Biblical doctrine of corporate bloodguilt,and therefore realize that all of us in America are stained with bloodguiltiness, as is the land itself ? How many pastors have the courage to preach it in the pulpit ? (e.g., Deuteronomy 19:10, 13; Numbers 35:33; Deuteronomy 21:1-9; Jeremiah 26:15)
"If My people, which are called by My Name (born-again Christians), shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."2 Chronicles 7:14

Abortion in America can be ended in one week by passing H.R. 2597 and removing appellate jurisdiction from the U.S. Supreme Court, to prevent the overturn of this bill, which if passed would ban abortion nationwide ( see H.R. 2597, the Sanctity of Life Act of 2007 at http://thomas.loc.gov/ )
Abortion in each state can be ended by passing no exceptions fetal 'personhood' bills, similar to as H.3284, the Right to Life Act of SC; and/or by passing constitutional amendments, similar to HB 403 in the State of Montana

2007 State-Level Bills Banning Abortions in Eight U.S. States
- AL, CO, GA, MT, ND, SC, TX, VA (16% of States in U.S.)
www.christianlifeandliberty.net/RTLAofUS-07-04.doc
Revised and updated as of March 29, 2007
National Right to Life and the Republican Party are wrong. The composition of the US Supreme Court is not what has to change to end abortion. If the Christians of America would simply read Article III., Section 2. of their own national covenant, the US Constitution, perhaps they would understand that Congress and the President have had the power to end abortion in America in a week's time, for now almost 34 years !
PRESIDENT BUSH and CONGRESS COULD END ABORTION IN AMERICA IN ONE WEEK:
President Bush and the US Congress have the power NOW to end abortion in America in one week: Pass HR 552, the "Right to Life Act", amended with the addition of the Article III., Section 2. power of the US Congress in the US Constitution to limit the appellate jurisdiction of the US Supreme Court, and the complete jurisdiction of the lower federal courts (US District Courts and US Circuit Courts of Appeal, which were created by Congress by federal statute, and could even be eliminated by Congress by federal statute, let alone have their jurisdictions limited).
[ see HR 618 and HR 300, 110th Congress, at http://thomas.loc.gov/ ]
www.christianlifeandliberty.net/CCL05-21.doc
US House limits jurisdiction of Federal Courts regarding the Pledge of Allegiance Employs Article III., Section 2. constitutional power of the US Congress to limit the appellate jurisdiction of the US supreme Court:
This same Article III., Section 2. constitutional power of the US Congress to limit the appellate jurisdiction of the US supreme Court can be further applied to protect the God-ordained institution of marriage, to protect state-level laws banning acts of sodomy, to protect federal and state laws banning abortion, and to protect the freedom of religious expression that is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the US Constitution, vis-a-vis public displays of the Ten Commandments, and public prayer in the Name of Jesus.
www.christianlifeandliberty.net/CONSTLAW06-01.DOC
The Article III., Section 2. legal strategy espoused in the articles above is embodied in HR 2597, The Sanctity of Life Act of 2007, sponsored by US Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas).
Congressman Paul's bill HR 2597 would: 1) recognize human life beginning at conception, 2) recognize the legal status of "person" at conception, and 3) by invoking the Article III., Section 2. (US Constitution) authority and power of the US Congress to restrict the appellate jurisdiction of the US Supreme Court, would protect the bill from being overturned, thereby ending abortion in America !
Another more comprehensive bill utilizing the Article III., Section 2. legal strategy, and addressing the issues of 1) freedom of religious expression, 2) abortion, and 3) sodomite couplings, is HR 300, the We the People Act of 2007, also sponsored by the Representative Ron Paul (R-Texas). [Former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, Roy Moore has advocated legislation in both the US House and US Senate utilizing the Art. III., Sec. 2. legal strategy that addressed the public acknowledgment of God / freedom of religious expression.]
Congressman Paul's bill HR 300 would return to the States their Sovereign Rights to:
- Acknowledge God (issues related to prayer in Jesus' Name, and posting of the Ten Commandments),
- Ban Child-Murder-By-Abortion
- Ban Sodomy (not just ban sodomite couplings, "marriage," and "civil unions")
See HR 2597 and HR 300 at http://thomas.loc.gov/ - check the list of co-sponsors, if your US House member is not a co-sponsor of both bills, contact and ask them to sign on as a co-sponsor to HR 2597 and to HR 300. Ask both of your US Senate members to introduce bills in the US Senate similar to HR 2597 and HR 300, as in the US House.
