But in said case we must prepare ourselves to get rid of the Senators over time that do not have the best interest of Americans. Upon this we will eventually modify the bill appropriately.

Andrew Sullivan gives me hope for a united country. If Andrew realizes that the values, morals, and outright viability of the Right is suspect, then I am sure many more on the Right while remaining Conservatives, will join Liberals and Moderates to reach a consensus to move our country forward.
