This just in: “damn, I’ve always wanted to say that, no not really except when I’m joking around) The U.S. Senate just passed comprehensive immigration reform with a 68-32 vote. Two votes short of Leader Reid’s goal of seventy votes but still a veto proof majority. Not that President Obama would veto a bill that he supports but this bill will be sent over to Speaker Boehner and the U.S House of Representatives and immigration reform is now in their court.

About Erik Schneider

I use the American Liberal photo as the cover photo for this blog, because that’s exactly what I am. And no, not in the stereotypical, sort of pop culture sense of what an American Liberal is supposed to be. But someone who represents what American liberalism, as well as European liberalism, and perhaps the liberalism of the rest of the world outside of the United States. Liberals are people who believe in defense of liberal democracy, as well as the preservation of liberal democracy. And of course we also believe in liberal democracy with all the individual rights, and other liberal values that come from liberal democracy, the liberal democratic form of government, like equal opportunity, equal rights, equal justice, property rights, individual freedom and freedom of choice for everybody, as well as limited but responsible government, and fiscal responsibility
