→ Senate votes to make English national language of US - It's not final yet, but the House has an "official English" bill with strong support, and it's not likely that Bush'd veto it. How'd they get it to pass? They made it all about immigration, of course. The Senate also voted on a second bill, making English a "common and unifying language". The differences between the two bills will be worked out in conference, along with the rest of the immigration bill.

It sounds like the second bill may be able to act to tone down the first, so that no one had to choose to vote against English but we can still come out with it not actually being declared “official” in the end.
And no, Bush of course wouldn’t veto it — he has never vetoed *anything*.
