"He voted to end debate.That's not exactly the same as voting for the bill itself."

Voting to end the debate in the Senate means that it goes to the House. If the House then votes for it, the bill only needs a 51-49 vote to pass in the Senate. That, in essence, means that Brown voted for the bill.

As for my source of Brown voting yeah to Obama's latest federal judge nominee, I heard it today on the Howie Carr show. A caller stated that Brown voted for Obama's nominee and Carr agreed with him. Unless I heard wrong, or there was a misunderstanding, that was what I heard on the radio.

According to the website I'll list below,Brown has cast three roll call votes.Two were "with Party" and one...the cloture vote...was "against Party".So,early in the game,this rookie is batting .667

Could be worse...
