Oh yeah, and here’s another link to another site carrying the story:

“Latest From the Hill: Congress Criminalizes the Right to Free Assembly; Strips Basic Protections of First Amendment”

http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/congress-criminalizes-the-right-to-assembly-strips-basic-protections-of-first-amendment_02292012

I did hear it passed with over 300 “yeas” in the house, and IIRC SINGLE DIGIT “nays” and also was passed unanimously by the senate, but with no record of who voted. People need to wake up, there’s no difference between Democrat and Republican politicians. None of them are interested in our Freedom. NONE of them.

It's a good bet that there were no more than 3 total senators in the chamber when the measure passed the Senate. One of those three would be sitting in the presiding chair, one other would be Reid or a designee. There may or may not have been a third. I think it is safe to say that half of the items passed in the senate are done in this sort of circumstance; although I believe all Senators offices are given an opportunity in advance to object, so that what does pass really does have the stamp of approval of 100% of the US Senators, even though they are not in the chamber when the measures are formally passed.

That has been true since the 1970s. Glad people are noticing, but it is far too late, short of a real 2nd US Revolution, and who knows how that would turn out. It is what happens when the people go to sleep politically and allow their government to find ways of handing out “free” stuff..
