[merrily]

1. Geez, even the real Moran (R) voted no!

Booker's vote is a pleasant surprise. The man who went on MTP as Obama's 2012 campaign surrogate, but criticized Obama for criticizing Wall Street during that campaign. Change of heart, or vision improved enough to see the handwriting on the wall?

Manchin also a pleasant surprise.

Tester, Blue Dog, voted no. (Not fond of Blue Dogs, but I always felt Tester was different from a Blue Dog like Baucus.)

Healthy number of Republicans voting no. Fucking Inhofe not voting at all. Fucking DiFi as well.

I love the smell of the sea (as in sea change).

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. Really - he was everywhere saying yes was the way

[merrily]

16. Who was?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

30. Duh...sorry...read and replied too fast - thinking Moran-D rep VA. sorry nt

[merrily]

31. Well, I never discount totally the possibility of kabuki.

It's certainly possible the original plan for the caucus was for him to vote yes, but then the caucus leaders decided it would be better if he voted no.

[merrily]

26. The Flake (r), too!

[TheBlackAdder]

2. Democrats who voted NO... Should be rephrased as REAL AMERICAN PATRIOTS who voted NO. nt

[neverforget]

3. Both of my Senators from Oregon voted No Merkley and Wyden.

Good job! Keep up the fight.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

7. As did Markey and Warren.

[merrily]

17. Environment has been Markey's signature issue.

[Robbins]

4. Surprising

my dem senator mcCaskill voted no first on cloture and then against final bill.First time in awhile a MO Dem hasn't disgusted me.

Manchin thought of as a DINO actully voted with both warren and sanders both times.

[merrily]

6. McCaskill is no one's fool. She donated to Akin's campaign to try to help

make sure he was her opponent and not a saner Republican. (I know you know that, but people from other states may have missed it.) If she voted populist on this, that increases my hope for a return of the Party to its election-winning roots.

[elleng]

9. I agree, she's no fool.

[MiniMe]

5. Both of my Senators from Maryland voted Yea

Mikulski and Cardin. I'm sure part of that is because Maryland has a lot of government workers, but I'm still disapointed

[elleng]

8. Ditto

[onecaliberal]

10. Figures DiFi couldn't be bothered to vote

I have no idea why this woman continues to get re elected. Corporate clown.

[merrily]

32. Couldn't be bothered, or didn't want to be on record either way?

California has been very involved in environmental issues, but that is probably not the side Difi's bread is buttered on. She may have thought not voting would be less damaging with California voters than voting yes, and also less damaging with her donors than voting no.

[onecaliberal]

33. Her husband is a known war profiteer

I haven't voted for her the last two times.

[merrily]

34. I can't blame you.

I read on DU that he is also buying up post offices.

[onecaliberal]

39. I read that too.

Getting ready for when republicons privatize th all.

[still_one]

11. Thanks. It is interesting that there are a fair number of republicans are in that list.

[merrily]

12. The others.

[Aerows]

13. Oh wow

Look at the Democratic Senators that can heartily vote NO because they are in the minority!

Woo hoo, look at that solid stance in legislation!

[merrily]

18. Dem and Republican votes were necessary for cloture. Maybe we should check that vote, too!

40. How many times do Republicans vote for cloture when they do not want a bill to pass?

[brooklynite]

14. This vote pattern seems to be all over the place...

[merrily]

19. Depend on your pov. Very few Dems on the no list surprised me.

[postulater]

20. Baldwin voted Yes? That disappoints me.

[dragonlady]

22. And Ron Johnson voted no?

What could he have been thinking?

[Cha]

24. From what I understand the bill helps fund the President's Immigration Reform.. same reason for

cruz I would imagine.

[Euphoria]

21. Yeah NJ! (Finally some NJ politicians

Doing the right thing)

[Cha]

23. From Hawaii.. Senator Hirono voted No and Senator Schatz Voted Yes.. I contacted

Sen Schatz and asked why he voted Yes. He's a smart guy and I like him.. looking forward to his reply.

thanks cal

[Major Hogwash]

25. I know for a fact that this bill must be a good bill. Do you know how I know that?

Both of my Senators voted against it.
Both railed against Obama's Executive Order concerning immigration reform last month.
Both are racist Republicans.

*Mike drop*

[Cha]

27. It sucks in a lot of ways for Dems, Major.. but, I think many repubs voted against it because it

does fund the President's Immigration Reform Bill! Oooops. Course, cruz and mike lee voted against it too.

And, if it didn't pass it would linger and shutdown the government.. and the pubs would be in charge of the next one.. and it could be a whole lot worse(I mean why wouldn't it be?).

I've been looking at it and.. and one bad bad thing that stands out is this in Washington DC..

snip//

"Marijuana legalization: On November 4, 69.4 percent of Washington, DC voters backed a referendum legalizing marijuana. The ballot measure didn't provide a mechanism for legal sales, but the DC Council was set to implement regulations and taxes similar to those in Washington and Colorado. The spending deal bars DC from implementing the ballot initiative or setting up a legal sales system. Leaving aside the merits of marijuana legalization, this is a pretty egregious way of disenfranchising DC voters, and it's prima facie offensive for representatives from the rest of the country to be overruling DC's citizens and elected officials."

I know how that feels.. two different fed judges in Hawaii ruled against the Will of the People voting against Monsanto in Maui and Kauai.

[MineralMan]

28. Both of the Senators in my state of Minnesota

voted No. I'm proud to have helped them get elected. I'll do the same next time, too.

Good job, Amy and Al!

[peacebird]

29. Is this a bill to promote fracking? Both my senators voted "yes" and warner only cares about

taking care of his rich buddies, so if he is for something I pretty much assume it is bad for the people...

[merrily]

35. Warner was another founding member of the DLC.

[peacebird]

36. And part of the infamous gang of six.... Scum always reaches across the aisle to screw us

Yet somehow never brings any R's over to support any progressive bills...

[LWolf]

38. Both of my senators voted no. nt
