I think MyDD might have actually broken the news about the immigration 'compromise' deal falling through. I'm not sure, because I haven't checked around, but we might have been first on this one. We're three plus hours ahead of the AP, anyway.
Anyway, Specter is trying to offer another bill this afternoon to break the impasse, but it doesn't look like it'll work. Frist, who's leadership has been atrocious on this issue in both a practical, technical, and moral sense, really got hosed on this issue. He's thinking like a Presidential candidate, siding with the Tancredo knuckle-dragging wing and then the business-interest wing and then back.
The massive marches on Monday are going to energize a lot of people, and freak a lot of others out (check out this mailer, PDF). The Senate's going on recess next week, and while back in their districts members in are going to hear a lot about immigration.
