I could be wrong .. but I'm not sure the Vitter amendment was voted on yet .. Specter is talking about it now
Your wrong. It already went down. Think they are talking Conryn amendment.
It was voted on and defeated. I called his office and told them I was disappointed but, for him to keep up the good fight...we are watching him.
