because at least one Senate Democrat is objecting to the following statements contained in the Senate’s resolution to welcome the Pope:

Who? Who? Every day I hate the procedural secrecy of Congress even more. I can understand why Congressional hearings on defense or intelligence have to be classified, but why are the names of who proposes or stops legislation, who drops in earmarks, or who signs or doesn't sign discharge petitions held more closely than top secret military info?

If a senator wants to stand up and say "Congress has no business commending a religious leader" or even "I oppose the Pope's agenda and I don't want this voted on" I would have far more respect for him that if he sneaks in at night and whispers "Majority leader Reid, I don't want this passed, but keep my name secret."

I’ll bet anything that its Bernie Sanders holding it up.He’s not officialy a Dem, but he’s a godless bolshevik and the mere sight of B16 must drive him beserk.Why do libs all seem to have a nuclear reactor of hatred boiling inside of them all the time?

All voting in Congress is a matter of public record. However, not all floor votes are roll call votes. There are voice votes (“aye” or “no”) and division or standing votes (where the presiding officer counts Members), and these types of votes do not indicate by name how a Member voted.

Nancy Pelosi, an advocate for abortion, met briefly with the pope - it is her job to stop congress from any meaningful progress to embarrass President Bush. I would love to know the names also.
