Supporters of a stalled Senate energy bill are floating a compromise that would put immigration reform on a fast track through the regular committee process and allow the energy bill to move forward on the Senate floor.



The proposal would tentatively set action on immigration for November after the midterm elections – a delay that even some Democrats would welcome.



The potential breakthrough came just a day after an the energy package was quietly forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency for analysis – another indication that the bill’s co-sponsors, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Ct.), and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), have not given up on it.

Kerry, Lieberman and Graham had planned to unveil their package on Monday. But Reid, reacting to a new Arizona law cracking down on illegal immigrants, surprised them on Friday by saying that the Senate would take up the immigration issue first.



That set off an escalating war of words between Reid and Graham that many supporters of energy reform, both business groups and environmentalists, feared would doom the legislation.



On Monday night, Graham essentially accused Reid and the White House of sandbagging him and setting up both energy and immigration reforms for failure. Graham is the key Republican co-sponsor on both measures.



On Tuesday, Reid softened his tone, at least on whether progress can be made on the energy reform measure.



“The energy bill is much further down the road as far as a product,” he said. “So common sense dictates that if you have a bill that’s ready to go, that’s the one I’m going to go to because, immigration, we don’t have a bill yet.”



Asked the question a second time, an exasperated Reid said: “The energy bill is ready. We will move to that more quickly than a bill we don’t have. I don’t have an immigration bill. So the answer is yes.”



Still, Reid continued to fuel the squabble by accusing Graham of insisting on delayed action on immigration reform in hopes of protecting his close Republican ally, Sen. John McCain, who is facing a tough primary battle in Arizona.
