The amendment they voted for was actually weaker than the bill. I think that there is still a requirement for 60 votes to end debate. If it cannot pass that hurdle, the bill is essentially dead.

I think I get it now :)

By not watering down the bill, its passage is assumed to be doomed. Obama’s reaction certainly presumes a failure to end debate.
