No cloture, er, closure, on the reform issue

According to news reports from late yesterday, the Senate has rejected attempts by some leaders to bring the immigration reforem bill from being voted on. This means that, in essence, the issue remains completely wide open, undecided, and potentially ready to suffer a slow death. This would surely make many conservatives minimally satisfied - but now they do not get all the new immigration enforcement measures the CIR bill was carrying.

This now requires the Bush administration to get on its horse and sway its conservative base, or at least enough of them, to bring the Senate bill to a vote.
