He seemed to have taken his vote back because it was 54 to 43, and than I heard the announcement "McConnell No" Why he did that is beyond me, but even if he didn't the Rat party is the party that want's to kill babies

Cloture not invoked on motion to proceed to S.1881, Dems voting in favor: Donnelly and Manchin. Republicans voting against: Kirk (and ML McConnell in order to reconsider.) Senators not voting: Graham.

Had all Republicans voted in favor, we still would not be able to get the requisite 60 votes to stop a Filibuster...

McConnell voted NO at the end in order to bring the legislation up again.

That is a standard tactic used in the Senate.

We have to make life very uncomfortable for Democrats.

They are the party of death, abortion, Nazism, fascism,killing jobs, keeping people on the government plantation.

It took Wilbur Wilberforce 20 years to prevail against the slave trade, in Parliament.

This is a first skirmish.

The battle is not over.
