Eleven cowards. Unpatriotic pieces of shit. Worst than the fucking Republican obstructionists.
That was the chicken way out. It was technically a yes vote, but without the Party repercussions and deniability just in case it had passed. Amazing how so many Republicans suddenly had family emergencies on the same day.

Murray, Sinema, Toomey and Burr would make it 58 votes. This was obstruction. Under any normal circumstances there would've been 60 votes. Look into the people who DNV.
