It looks like there will be a filibuster by Senators Paul, Cruz, and Lee. Basically they've sent Reid a letter warning him that they plan to block a vote on the bill and there is almost no way that 60 senators are going to publicly vote for cloture with an election less than 18 months away. I'm leaving out the link because it gets into the DC politics but it looks like we should be okay as long as everyone writes their senators regularly.
