Cloture on the Spector bill just failed by a 39-60 vote in the Senate. Filibuster time.
McCain and Kennedy are not worried. Spector seems quite happy.
They all know that new compromised new bill is just McCain-Kennedy with cosmetic changes.
Instead of offering amnesty to all illegal aliens without much paperwork, the new amnesty will require a few phony papers saying that that immigrant was living in the US for 5 years.
Just like the Reagan amnesty, the counterfeit paperwork will overwhelm the federal bureaucrats, (who are easily overwhelmed anyway), and 99% of the illegal immigrants will qualify.
