Immigration Bill Fails Test Vote

Looks like trouble for the "grand bargain" immigration overhaul proposal. Senators rejected a motion to wrap up debate on the bill 34-61 -- a result indicative of the great bipartisan displeasure with the White House-backed compromise.

Majority Leader Harry Reid said the bill would remain up for consideration so lawmakers could continue to attach amendments tweaking the measure. AP has more on today's vote, and the Senate's Web site has a record of the sundry amendments that have been put up for the bill.
