If the amendment fails, I was told, Sen. Bond would vote against the bill.

Did he say he would vote against cloture? Or is he trying to fool people by voting for the second cloture vote and they voting against the bill?

I wasn’t savvy enough at that time to ask the specific question about how he would vote for cloture on Thursday. But I am now, and will tomorrow or (less likely) late today.

I like to make sure the Senator’s staff can look forward to the phones ringing from the minute they walk into the office, and am making sure I am one of the early callers.
