Two people familiar with the Senate immigration deliberations say the White House has suggested to Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy that it would be best to put off a controversy over gay marriage until a bill goes before the full Senate.

President Barack Obama backs the proposal to give equal treatment to gays and lesbians, but is unlikely to veto a broad immigration bill that does not include the provision.

Leahy, the Democratic chair of the Judiciary Committee, has not yet said whether he will seek a vote on the provision in committee. He could raise the issue again if the bill goes before the full Senate.

The people familiar with the deliberations were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and insisted on anonymity. The White House had no comment.

Yeah it's all up to Leahy though. I'm sure he won't bring it up but I hope the WH has applied enough pressure.

It has to be a majority vote to be adopted.If the vote is 9-9 then the amendment cannot be accepted to the legislation.The 3 Senators to watch are Durbin,Schumer and Feinstein at this time.
