Some R's in moderate states will be on the record now as voting for the extension.

There is nothing "moderate" about voting against the Constitution, unless of course the item being voted on is a Constitutional amendment. That's way it's supposed to work. The way it seems to work, is that nobody pays attention to the old rag, unless it can be twisted to further their agenda, regardless of what the words of the Constitution actually say and meant when passed.

No argument from me. I was commenting on the cynicism of those Senators, like the ones in Maine, who feel they need to embrace lib positions to keep being elected, as opposed to trying to educate their voters.
