During the actual vote this morning, Brownback voted “Yes” on cloture, then switched his vote to “No” after it got more than 41 votes.I thought he witheld his vote (not voted "yes") and then voted "no" when it had been defeated. Not any discernable difference, but I like to know the truth.

Voted for it before voting against it! Has he been to MA recently to drink the Kerry water?

I thought he witheld his vote (not voted "yes") and then voted "no" when it had been defeated. Not any discernable difference, but I like to know the truth. I believe he actually voted "Yes" at first, but perhaps a FReeper who watched the vote can verify that for sure?

I like that handle that someone up above came up with:
SENATOR SWITCHBACK
It kind of has a ring to it, doesn't it. I can see the bumper stickers now.

"I voted against the Senate immigration bill because I am not convinced it would fix our broken immigration system and it would most likely repeat the mistakes of the 1986 reform," said Brownback. So he figured this out fifteen minutes after he cast his "AYE" vote, just seconds before voting ended????

I watched the live thread. They called a “yes” vote from Switchback early in the voting and then noted his change later. Going by real-time updates, I’d say he switched his vote to go with the flow...

Thank you. As I said, it did not make a difference if he held his vote or switched it. I simply wanted to be accurate.

In my mind, it does make a difference. Withholding his vote may simply be called a delayed reaction... changing his vote is pandering and there’s no way to spin it otherwise.

Brownback voted yes at the beginning of the rollcall today and then 11 minutes later - when it was clear that amnesty was going to fail - he changed his vote to no.
