I think it was in the House, yeah. I'm just trying to figure out how on earth, if this was a voice vote, the result was recorded as 'unanimous' unless this newspaper is just trying to disguise obvious RAT dissent.

There's some real nutcase socialists in the House -- I'd have a really hard time believing that the vote was unanimous unless the entire hard-left socialist contingent abstained from the voice vote...

well there are some very loud republicans :)

Guillermo had it right. They didnt want a roll call vote. That is why no Democrat challenged the voice vote this time.

I'm pretty sure that in a voice vote, if they call for "Nays" and no one responds, it gets written down as "unanimous". I don't think there's anything particularly sneaky or wrong about that either, even if not everyone voted "Yea".
