It is unclear whether Senate Majority Leader Reid will find a way to either delay the cloture vote or make it seem inconsequential.
Quote:
The REAL Senate vote on the #DREAMAct may well come next week if the Senate can find a way to take up the House-passed bill.
Quote:
Today's Senate #DREAMAct Cloture vote will NOT be a vote on the House-passed bill.
Quote:
A Senate vote on the House-passed #DREAMAct bill, if it occurs, won't likely happen until next week or later.

The Senate and House bills would come together . And been voted on the Senate only (51SENATORS) needed to pass and pass the House again.

OR The SENATE can take up the House bill and passed it and it goes to President Obama's desk

So are you saying they won't have to do a cloture vote when they're voting on the house version?
I'm not quite sure how that part of the process works, it being brought in from the house and all. Can it be filibustered?

Both versions need 60 votes to pass.
