"LeMieux opposed the measure because he said it circumvented the Senate committee process and failed to address the larger immigration issues."

Accoring to the article above, lemieux could still vote no since durbin is bypassing the judiciary committee process and it fails to address the larger immigration issues (aka its not part of CIR). So DA User, stop with your nonsense ohh this person is a yes, that person is a yes, ohh we can get 62-63 votes easily, ohh john mccain will come around and vote yes since he won his primary election and has nothing to be afraid about.. I don't think you've ever been correct.

our best shot is to go after those who have voted 'Yes' before, and through a standalone vote, perhaps we can have some of them vote 'Yes' again.
