From The  Daily Rundown:
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bipartisan immigration reform bill on Tuesday evening, ushering through to the full Senate a bill that would provide a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants.
The measure moved only after a controversial amendment that would have allowed same-sex couples to petition for legal status for a spouse or partner was dropped after Republicans made it clear they would not support the bill if the provision was included.
