Looks like George Bush's top domestic agenda item is just about finished:
A tenuous compromise to overhaul the nation's immigration laws collapsed tonight when senators from both parties refused to cut off debate and move to a final vote, handing the unlikely alliance of Democratic leaders and President Bush a setback on a major domestic priority.Every single thing Bush does turns into a disaster. Heckuva job Bushie.
The defeat came after months of painstaking negotiations and weeks of debate as a 45-50 procedural vote fell well short of the 60 needed to break the filibuster. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) then pulled the bill from the floor, while holding out hope that the Senate could resurrect the measure within weeks.
