I was watching the debate and following procedural vote on C-Span, as it happened. I found it LESS than entirely amusing how so many of these elected representatives could find it within themselves to vote against the amendment that would have removed the constitutional violation from the bill when other members had just minutes before risen to call attention to the fact that the bill was a clear violation of the First Amendment without the amendment to it that was proposed.
The voting record is a matter of public record. I think it's time to fire off some letters to all who voted against the modified version.
That was a procedural vote, by the way. A quorum wasn't even present, and as things stand this isn't law.
I predict that the offensive, First Amendment violating language in the proposed bill will NOT be included in the form that passes both the House and Senate.
Watch C-Span and C-Span 2 when they're on and covering activities in the House and Senate. It's fascinating, but much like watching sausage being made. Creepy, yet entertaining.
