Its a sad world when only 6 Democrats could see the danger in this manure ridden bill.

I applaud them and condemn the rest.

Well, we don't know for sure it was only 6 Democrats. One Senator is missing. And a Repuiblican or two MIGHT have voted against it.

Unlike in the House, C-SPAN doesn't list a party breakdown on the screen when Senators vote. Someone reads the roll, and I'm not quick enough to remember all of the names. We have to see the roll, which should be posted on the Senate website, soon.

7 Democrats voted Aye. Brownback missed the vote. From the Senate website:
