Might I add how disappointed I am at Hawaii's senators for voting with the forces of unreason, extremism, pathological partisanship and obstructionism? Though not from the state of Hawaii or a resident thereof, I have spent a lot of time there and love the generous and good hearted spirit of the people of that state. Hawaii's senators helping to further the forces of extremism in Democratic politics and in representing Hawaii does dihonor to the wonderful Aloha spirit of that state and Hawaii's great tradition of people working together.
Sorry, the Yes-No column divide didn't post properly. Here's the link to see how each Democratic senator voted.

Funny, if the Democrats had been able to pull off a feat like this, you would see blaring headlines about "overwhelming bipartisan support" and editorials gushing words like "mandate" and "direction" (as in surely this is the right one).
I'm waiting.
Still waiting...
Guess I better pack a lunch.
