A Lady's Ruminations

Location: United States

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

CAII Post Roundup

Crossposted from Pursuing Holiness

Here's a roundup of some recent CAII posts:

From Morning Coffee, Did the Senate Just Blink?

In the ongoing debate over which version of Immigration reform congress will pass this year (if any) the Senate may have just blinked.

From the Washington Times:

The security of the border should be the No. 1 priority for an immigration bill, Sen. Arlen Specter said yesterday, and he's open to a compromise that sets goals for border and interior enforcement ahead of a guest-worker program and path to citizenship for illegal aliens.

Colorado Gov to call special legislative session on immigration

This is a followup on Two previous CAII posts Colorado Supreme Court Won't Allow Illegal Immigrant Measure on Ballot, and Hart joins Peña in battle (supporting persons residing unlawfully).

From The Colorado Springs Gazette

DENVER - Gov. Bill Owens will call a special session of the Legislature to deal with illegal immigration, including a proposal by ballot initiative proponents for a compromise based on a law passed by the Georgia Legislature, Owens' spokesman Dan Hopkins said Tuesday.
From Free Constitution, Enforcing the Border:

While we wait, and wait for our representatives to take on an urgent issue, illegals of all nationalities pour in.

From the AP:

Two New York men have been charged
with smuggling 21 illegal aliens into Vermont from Canada.

From CommonSenseAmerica, New Yorkers To Rally Against Illegal Immigration:
June 30th, 2006 at 6pm

New Yorkers for Immigration Control and Enforcement (NY I.C.E.) will rally in front of Senator Hillary Clinton's Office at 780 Third Avenue in Manhattan (cross street is 49th Street) to protest the Senator's support of illegal aliens.

After rallying in front of Senator Clinton's Office, NY I.C.E. plans to walk two blocks to Senator Schumer's Office at 757 Third Ave. and rally there, since he, likewise, has supported illegal aliens.
