I heard no one seconded Cruz’s amendment requests on Sunday? How the hell could that be? Do you have a play by play? Wasn’t Lee there? Or Rand Paul? WTF, over?!

There was a motion to vote, and a second for that. Cruz, I think, moved that the vote be a roll call vote. That takes 2/5th of the senator’s to second, otherwise the vote is a voice vote (yell “Aye” or “Nay” on cue). A voice vote was conducted. Smae with Mike Lee’s proposed amendment. Chair ruled it out of order, Lee appealed the ruling, the senate MUST vote on that appeal (without debate). No roll call vote becusae fewer than 2/5th of the Senate agreed to a roll call. There was a voice vote. All that happens in the space of less than a minute.

I read there were three that raised their hands, Lee I thought was one. He (Lee) was put down on the Planned Parenthood funding right after.
