The article you cited actually makes my point. How many of the legislative failures listed in that article were caused (in part) by Luther Strange voting against a bill?
Gee, I wonder who gave him permission to vote against the bill?
You ever wonder how the Swamp works? You don't actually think the majority of the Senate members vote their consciences, do you? Oh, please, don't tell me you think they actually vote based on the interests of their constituents - you can't be THAT naive!
