Well, good. As I suggested earlier today:

WASHINGTON —AP- A defiant group of senators refused to continue down the path of a widely unpopular immigration reform bill Thursday, putting up a roadblock on a procedural debate and squeezing out any time left to work on one of President Bush’s top domestic priorities.  On the cloture vote — the test to end debate and move to passage — the Senate voted 46-53 not to carry the motion. Sixty votes were needed for forward progress.

OK, guys, now that the show is over, and common sense is prevailed, can we get to securing the damn border?
