You have that wrong, the first cloture vote failed 32 ayes to 66 nays; the second cloture vote failed 45 ayes to 50 nays. It is worthless to watch any more of this dribble. Reid promised they will continue to work off the floor to gain more support, meaning the group of 12 will continue to rework the bill to get it passed. It is not over yet by a long shot. Continue the calls, faxes and emails going to Senators to keep the heat on.

I was referring to the “solid wall” of 66-32 in favor of amnesty which existed before the Cornyn amendment caused it to start crumbling.
