I think if they had 60, they would have voted for cloture. Since they didn’t, the republicans decided to cover themselves by voting against cloture, so they could argue they wanted to allow more amendments to “fix” the bad parts.
That makes sense.
It sickens me to be here in Ohio, I just know both Brown and Voinovich (R-Crybaby France) will vote for this POS bill if it has a chance of passing.
And yet we’re still looking for a rattier congress.
