Bush Pisses Off GOP Senator
Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, who has
pushed a tough border security bill through the House, accused President
Bush on Wednesday of abandoning the legislation after asking for many of
its provisions.
"He basically turned his back on provisions of the House-passed bill, a
lot of which we were requested to put in the bill by the White House,"
Sensenbrenner, R-Wis.,
angrily told reporters in a conference call.

House members said that Mr. Rove had made little
headway and that most Republicans remained adamantly opposed to any plan that
leads to citizenship for those unlawfully in the United States.
One House Republican also warned Mr. Rove
"Every two weeks we will rotate out the National Guard? That's like starting a heart surgery and having the whole team of doctors and nurses leap up after every five minutes and switch. How are you going to be successful with that? I have a lot of concerns with it."

Senate Passes English Only. Bush Exempted.
The Senate first voted 63-34 to make English
the national language after lawmakers who led the effort said it would
promote national unity.
But critics argued the move would prevent limited English speakers from
getting language assistance required by an executive order enacted under
President Clinton.
So the Senate also voted 58-39 to make English the nation's "common and
unifying language."
