Immigrant Bill Falls 15 Votes Short!
After a day of tension and fruitless maneuvering, senators rejected a Democratic call to move toward a final vote on the compromise legislation after Republicans complained that they had not been given enough opportunity to reshape the sprawling bill. Supporters of cutting off debate got only 45 of the 60 votes they needed; 50 senators opposed the cutoff.

Thank God for large favors: I'm pretty sure they'll just submit a sneakier bill in the middle of the night and get 90% of what they want, that seems to be the MO in that den of iniquity.
