markknoller ssaid on a tweet;

Sen Susan Collins, R-ME, to support blocking vote on Defense Bill unless Dems allow GOP amendments and "full and open debate."

Heard this too, regarding Senator Collins. Just made call to her office asking her to vote against the add ons and the bill going forward with them.

Thank you for the link Dixie.

They are discussing the LGBT push to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Senators McCain and Jeff Sessions are expressing their deep concerns over this attempt to go ahead without study and against the men and women opposed to this.

Senator Sessions says that they are ramming this through. "Raised up in a potential to damage the military." Senator Jeff Sessions voted against the bill last year because of piggyback of hate speech wording.

"train to carry through controversial pieces of legislation"

talking about giving amnesty to people who came in here illegally.

for cleaning up the bill without the controversial attachments

12 minutes left

Senator Carl Levin is leading the way right now on the floor for the LGBT lobby

Hopefully with the concerns for both the Dream Act and the DADT, this will fail.

Senator George LeMieux (Florida) speaking -

Talking about passing this and then finding out the impact.

Talking about the Dream Act - talking about the hardship for children brought here illegally - many in his state support it , but trying to attach this to this bill is not appropriate, should be included in immigration reform - the American people are upset about what they see

Lieberman speaking. Pleading for "proceeding" with a yes vote so that debate can begin.

What he fails to realize is some things have to be nipped in the bud.

[GeorgiaPeach]

Senator McCain says that the Dream Act should not be attached to this important Defense Bill.

Senator Lieberman is in support of this bill, - "no matter what you think about the amendments." He says that can begin a filibuster. Should go forward even with Dream Act and DADT. Senator Collins to her great credit thinks that repeal of DADT should go forward because she thinks it is "un-American." (his words, not hers)
