"Nevertheless, the amendment passed 16 to 4, with Republican Sens. David Vitter, Thom Tillis, and Jeff Sessions joining Cruz in opposing it."

[TexasCajun]

Texas’s ‘junior’ Senator, John Cornyn is an RINO, GOPe embarrassment!

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I will remember this vote. Good for the 4 who voted against it.

[mrsmith]

Congress: “Let’s endanger the whole country so we can help the media ‘get’ Trump.”

[DoughtyOne]

Good for Ted.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

The wording is very deceptive. It is not that their is a religious test. it is a security test. You cannot hide behind religion in order to sneak in and slaughter people.

[nopardons]

Good for those who opposed this.

The hell with those who didn't !

"Several Democrats grinned visibly when Cruz's proxy vote of 'no' was cast, with one uttering into a hot mic: 'Ohhh yeah.'"

WTH is that supposed to mean???

[jwalsh07]

Simple. Call the GOP, tell them you will not vote for any republican that supports the infiltration of America by jihadists. And tell them no more money. Ever.

[MNDude]

Every time the Muzzies kill again, Americans are going to remember this.

[Vic S]

While they’re at it, why don’t they pass an amendment that says they will never outlaw guns or intern US citizens? Bet that would get vetoed.

[yoe]

As an American citizen shouldn't Syed Rizwan Farook's bloody crime be described as one of treason? And shouldn't his family be also tried for treason if they in fact knew/were complicit in the crimes? Perhaps this is why Obama/Jarrett won't allow the expression "at war with ISIS" be used....you must be at 'war' for Farook and wife's murderous crimes to be called treason....I think that is correct......

No terrorist should be convicted and then given the sentence of a life in prison for the remainder of life....the sentence should be an automatic death sentence. Tax payers should not be made to pay for a terrorist's room and board for even a day!

[detective]

GOP Sens. John Cornyn of Texas, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, Orrin Hatch of Utah, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Mike Lee of Utah, Jeff Flake of Arizona and David Perdue of Georgia supported the amendment. Several Democrats grinned visibly when Cruz's proxy vote of "no" was cast, with one uttering into a hot mic: "Ohhh yeah."

[FourPeas]

Democrats fear Cruz, as well they should.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Why give any test at all? How about not letting ANYBODY in from terror producing countries?? An ISIS member can lie and say he is a Christian a Hindu or whatever just as much as use a fake name and say he isn’t a terrorist. The point is, why are we importing ANYBODY from the middle east or anyplace they have terror groups?

[Southern Magnolia]

Have ‘em all get licked repeatedly by a big dog, get ‘em to chase and catch an bacon greased pig or wild hog, draw a picture of themselves kicking ol’ Mo and eat a BLT or BBQ pork ribs at the very least before we let ‘em in.

[C. Edmund Wright]

THOM TILLIS! Who’d a thunk it. Good for him. (rare I ever say that)

[TigersEye]

It is time to stop accepting the ridiculous notion that Islam is a religion. Religions are not founded on murder and war as holy tenets. Death cults are.

[MNJohnnie]

Well once again the "News media" demonstrate themselves hysteric shameless liars.

Article 6 US Constitution The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

[caww]

A religious test ‘for entry’ is not the issue they're making of it.... because Islam is not a race nor a religion it's a set of ideas.....

So 16 just showed how totally ignorant they are.

[aragona]

So Rubio voted with the Dems on this? WTF.
