53 Nays sends the signal that the Bill itself would have been defeated. HOoraH!!!

NO sir! A good number of those 53 nays only got to be nays AFTER the magic number of 41 was reached in that column. You can bet your boots that this monstrosity would have passed easily if cloture had been invoked and it had only taken 50 votes to pass it.
