what is their rationale??
They are the CCB crowd.That is why they voted no.
I believe Lee was a sponsor on CCB.

Reid said GOP not negotiating in good faith. He then suggested the absence of a quorum and left the Chamber. (Maybe the pizza arrived.)

RT @StewSays: Sen. Reid says he won’t allow a vote on his own bill tonight even though Republicans agree to vote now. #Odd
Wasn’t this a vote to TABLE the bill? If so, they would’ve been voting NO to NOT table the bill. My understanding is that NOT tabling the bill would make it subject to cloture, meaning it could have bee filibustered.
“what is their rationale??”
Others here are saying they’re doing it to support or show support for CC and B. Makes sense, and this isn’t a conservative bill by any stretvh.
Lindsey and Hatch are just being silly of course.
