AuH2O, that's an excellent pickup -- thanks for updating the update!

I watched C-SPAN to see how they were going to handle the amendments, and after each one was voted on, the sponsor moved to have a recorded vote, and the Chairman declared some parliamentary mumbo-jumbo and then moved on -- without a recorded vote. I guess the parliamentary mumbo-jumbo meant something along the lines of "We'll give you your recorded vote, but it will be done by electronic device instead of taking the time to call out the names one at a time," or something like that.

Look, we're all getting real tired of this. Get off your butt, put down the cigarettes, and do something, newb.

I didn't watch the proceedings on C-SPAN, but from the little I read on THOMAS I gather that the four amendments that were offered were not given a recorded vote until much later. Maybe the parliamentary mumbo-jumbo the acting speaker muttered was that all of the recorded votes would take place after all of the amendments were offered.
