Correction, twenty Democrats on committee apparently voted down Pence’s amendment, but the .gov site only lists 10 on the Judiciary committee?

There must be some confusion in the reporting of that amendment's defeat. As I understand it, the amendment was introduced in the House by Pearce and every Democrat who was present voted against it.

I haven't found anything yet regarding the bill's situation in the Senate (thatpesky thing called work has had me tied up today) except that it's almost certain to pass there too. That's why I think it's urgent that we insist on Bush vetoing it when it comes to his desk, because it's very likely that it will.
