We know he voted for the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2001, but why vote against this:

Question: On the Amendment (Wellstone Amdt. No. 14 )
Vote Number: 16 Vote Date: March 7, 2001, 06:55 PM
Required For Majority: 1/2 Vote Result: Amendment Rejected
Amendment Number: S.Amdt. 14 to S. 420
Statement of Purpose: To create an exemption for certain debtors that can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the court that the reason for the filing was a result of debts incurred through medical expenses.
