It’s my understanding that Sen. Cotton voted NO, and Babs Boxer was not
in the chamber for the vote. All others voted YES. Cruz was right, here. Before cloture was the time to give the Bill teeth. Cruze knew the measure was weak and shouldnt go to the floor for a vote. Once the cloture was assured it was too late to make it any meaningful amendments so all that could be done was to symbolically vote YES to show Obutthole the Senate was of one mind in opposition. But only symbolically because the measure has no enforcement regime. Just my $.02 worth.
