I don't understand that; why he changed his vote so the bill could be reconsidered.

The explanation I read is that by doing so, according to Senate rules, he can now reintroduce the cloture vote. Some kind of procedure. Who knew? Who understands Senate rules????

Looks like we'll have to get out the emails and phone calls. Personally, I'd prefer whips.
