Senate Republicans on Friday blocked the creation of a bipartisan panel to study the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, refusing to back down on their opposition to the independent investigation.
The Senate vote was 54-35 — short of the 60 votes needed to consider a House-passed bill
Democrats and some moderate Republicans had called for a commission to probe the events leading up to and on Jan. 6, when hundreds of people, some of them supporters of President Donald Trump, stormed the Capitol, fighting with police, urging violence against lawmakers and delaying the formal certification of President Joe Biden's election victory.

the way these leftist journalists always feel the need to insert these outright lies into their stories makes it look like they’re admitting the Public isn’t buying the “riot narrative”

I thought Newsmax was portrayed as a reliable, basically conservative news source. Apparently I was deceived!
Bottom line for me.

Communists and synchophant Republican fellow-travelers had called for a commission...
good question. a quorum is at least 51 senators. It’s really not 60 votes but 3/5.
assuming the 11 didn’t show up. so what is 3/5 of 89?

IF Jan 6 had been a true insurrection....people would know.
Congress should NOT be wasting anymore time on this kind of
horse manure. The impeachment proceedings were bad enough!

Other places can’t let it go either. Life is moving on and we need
get this country back to producing, jobs, importing exporting and
spending money. Life goes on until each one of us reach our death.
IF Jan 6 had been a true insurrection....people would know.
Like the Apr 12, 1861 – Apr 9, 1865 era? People knew then.
except for the handful of idiots who charged the police, this was nothing more than a First Amendment protest.
The article lies that 4 people died in the attack. Only one young woman was murdered by Capitol cop David Bailey who the feds and DC refuse to bring to justice and continue to protect at all costs.
It is a terrible article. No mention of those Repblicans who voted for the bill, or those who were not present.
It is to the Democrat media, hence the headline.
I can’t say as I recall ever seeing a headline pointing the finger at Democrats for killing what any normal American would see as positive legislation.
Which they have, on countless occasions.
“bipartisan”
These are the 11 senators who didn’t vote on the bill:
Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee
Republican Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri
Republican Sen. Mike Braun of Indiana
Republican Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina
Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma
Democratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington
Republican Sen. Mike Rounds of South Dakota

Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona
Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania
6 voted yes:
Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Rob Portman of Ohio, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Ben Sasse of Nebraska.
“Bi-partistan” means helping Democrats get what they want.
“I thought Newsmax was portrayed as a reliable, basically conservative news source. Apparently I was deceived!”
Newmax was one of the first media outlets to refer to Slow Joe as “President Elect”. We stopped watching then.

I want to know how Toomey voted.
He didn't. Abstention.
Every single one of them needs to be run out of the Senate.
