Glad to see the SC Five stood their ground!

It very well may be that a "NO" vote on this bill does NOT mean what you think it does. A vote against a bill that is still undecided is a principled stand. A vote at the gavel against a bill that already has enough votes for passage is a deception.

I think perhaps the problem is in the wording.

Some waited until the final seconds. Some waited until the final minutes.

There are two sections in that article.

Here is another article on it.

They were a NO vote when it blocked the bill, and they were a NO vote even when they knew it would pass. It was a principled vote!

I applaud them for it! A breath of fresh air in the cesspool known as Washington DC.
