I just spoke with Rep. Tom Feeney's aide.

The "voice vote without dissent" means that nobody objected to doing a voice vote rather than a recorded vote.

A voice vote means that everybody weighs in on the discussion, but ultimately the chair (Rep. Sanchez-D) decides whether to issue the subpoenas.

Rep. Feeney's aide was emphatic in stating that he opposes the subpoenas *at this time* in order to sift through the evidence that the White House has provided or will provide, but he reserves the right to support the subpoenas if any sign of wrongdoing shows up in the information.

So, as usual, the media has distorted what actually transpired.
