Er no indeed. 49-48 (ONE vote) fell 11 short of the 60 required to send the matter for an up-or-down tally. So I stand corrected on a technicality.

...and the up-or-down vote would have required 67 yeas from senators, which it clearly was not anywhere close to having. Perhaps you're confusing it with the flag burning amendment which did come within one vote IIRC (66-34). So, you obviously feeling threatened that this somehow applies to you, I see.... It would appear so - and it's your problem, not mine. Apply it as the shoe fits indeed...

You were the one who used the roundabout method to actually addressing someone specific by using "reply to: All", so I was honestly curious. Don't get all accusatory because I called you on it.

Really? NEWSFLASH! Thank you for clearing that up, none of us realized that... No doubt metaphors are slightly above the level you are used to.

You're the one going around touting South Park as some sort of study in homosexuality. It makes as much sense as touting the old Wile E. Coyote cartoons as an accurate portrayal of the coyote-roadrunner relationship.

Like I said, obviously the metaphors escape you. Don't you have a Gay Pride Parade to attend?
