Thread: Hatch leaning against cloture!

Sen. Hatch on Hannity said: " I am leaning against cloture"

Just heard him on Hannity. He said this bill is a nightmare. There's good things in it but really bad things that just aren't good.

Sen. Hatch on Hannity:

This bill is "off the charts" this bill will not solve the problem...doesn't buy argument that this bill is the best we can do because the Dems are in charge...bill has bad provisions...no committee hearings, doesn't think many people have had the chance to read the bill...voting on amendments now...questions 24 hour background checks...Hatch mentions in this bill "aggravated felons who sexually abused minors eligible for amnesty"...
cloture vote: admits there is fairly good argument vote for cloture..House has made it clear they dont' like it...H asks Hatch why take chance...Hatch says people need to do something...Hatch says not sure how cloture will go in the Senate...see about amendments...some good aspects to bill but some really bad awful aspects...Hannity says to Hatch seems like you in "no way vote for this bill", Hatch responds: "That's the way I feel"...Hatch mentioned biometric card only way to know people who are here conservatives should accept biometric card...Hatch says not enough detention facilities...people can still overstay visas...Hatch is leaning against cloture and will probably vote against cloture...Hatch doesn't know what Bennett will do... Hatch says fairness doctrine is "worthless" "rotten"

----------------

So it looks like Sen. Hatch is with us (but still call him), so let's make sure to call Sen. Bennett.

Both Utah senators need to be leaned on. I truly think we have a chance with Hatch, Bennett will be difficult...but we have to keep trying.

I called all of his offices and Bennett's over the weekend and left voicemails.

I think I will fax them, now.
