On the Amendment (Thune Amdt. No. 1618 )

The roll call vote, Lugar & Voinovich switched on the Second Amendment from the Coburn vote. We were two votes shy, two lousy votes.

Klobuchar (D-MN), Kohl (D-WI), Merkley (D-OR), Nelson (D-FL), Rockefeller (D-WV who didn't vote on Coburn), Sanders (I-VT), Shaheen (D-NH), Specter (D-PA) and Wyden (D-OR) switched their vote from YEAs on Coburn to NAYs on Thune as best that I could check, with that exception for Rockefeller.

Alexander (R-TN) and Johnson (D-SD) did the reverse switch from NAYs on Coburn to YEAs on Thune.

Here's the Coburn Amendment roll call vote.

If your senator is involved, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Looks like something that will wind up challenged in court, all the way to the SCOTUS. Thanks neverdem.
