"If it was a just a procedural motion to kill the bill, then why did all the other Republican’s vote against it. Surely they understand how Congress works."

No, it wasn't a "procedural motion to kill the bill". It was a vote to send the bill into a place where it will die a slow death. Again, you don't get it, and I'm not going to spend anymore time trying to educate you about it. All attempts thus far, have proven wildly unsuccessful.

If Castle indeed voted on this bill for the reason you stated, as a smart guy, why didn't he get out in front of this instead of thinking (or hoping) that his vote wouldn't be scrutinized?

It was a vote to send the bill into a place where it will die a slow death.

In other words, Castle didn't have the balls to vote against like the other Republicans. He has to play with "parliamentary procedures". Real choice candidate there.
