Vote Summary | By Senator Name | By Vote Position | By Home State |
The republicans WANTED this bill to pass just as much as the democrats.
As you can see it is a lie that the republicans wanted the pass to be passed
If you look in his posting history he is saying this over and over. He got into a big argument with me claiming that bills cannot pass out of committee without Republicans having voted for them and therefore they had helped in the background to help bring the bills to the floor. Of course that is not true - it just takes a majority of the overall committee makeup and the Democrats at the time dominated the committees in both houses.
