Is the amnesty bill failing?

[Jeanfromfillmore]

With Holder pulling the crap he's been doing I don't see the House going along with anything placed before them. This White House has basically said F...Y.. to those that aren't on the far left and in lock step with his agenda. Our only hope is an angry defiant House. This administration has little respect for our laws or the majority of the public. Obama used the Office to pad his reelection and the left crossed out legality to keep him there while the Occupyers cried like babies that they weren't getting their cut and no one paid attention to the damage and lies. The media, educated in those liberal leftist bastions of pious moral idiots who couldn't see beyond their indoctrinated agenda worshiped him; even after Obama's lackey's went after them they still make excuses for everything the White House does. The brain dead voted this crap into office, now everyone is paying the price. But asked most people what is happening and the majority haven't a clue to what's going on, they just care about being entertained.

My phone calling the last few days have been limited, but from my experience the Capitol switchboard which I use has had waiting periods to get connected. I hope that is a good sign.

My attempts have mainly been targeted at Mitch McConnell. I'm mostly focusing my anger on him.
I can say that it's been next to impossible to get connected to his office, the voice mail always says it's due to high call volume. I hope that means there are thousands of angry people like me trying to reach his office.
I'm not getting any inside information about what's going on, but I crave any insight that I can get.
My hunch is that they don't have the 60 votes in the Senate and Rubio is panicking.

Or maybe the only Republican votes they have are the four from the gang of eight plus Hatch and now Rubio is panicking about that instead.

I count 52 Democrats in the Senate, 51 now that God, thankfully removed Lautenberg.

We've got four yes votes from the Republican members of the Gang. Sanders from Vermont is "independent", but usually votes with the Dems., but I've heard that Sanders has problems with the way it negatively impacts labor markets. Hatch, says he's a yes vote on the amnesty.

51+4+1=56

If every Democrat is a yes vote plus Hatch and the gang of eight that's still doesn't reach 60.

Rand paul, and Cornyn could make it 58, still not enough to pass.

I don't believe that every single Democrat is a yes vote either.
