In all my decades of closely watching politics, I have never, EVER seen Congress so directly contravene the overwhelming, strongly expressed will of its constituents as it is doing by continuing with this immigration charade. Then again, for senators like Trent Lott, their constituents aren’t necessarily the voters of Mississippi; instead, their constituents are the big corporations and the wealthy lobbyists and campaign donors with whom they hobnob every day. In effect, these senators are being bought off. Which means the question shouldn’t be “Who’s your daddy,” but rather, “who’s your madame?”
