The amendment would have passed by voice vote, but this tactic was blocked by Sen. Paul's objection. He then forced a roll call vote, in which the amendment was defeated, 41-59.
48 democrats voted for this, 44 Repugs did as well. WTH are they thinking? I suggest the people need to be outraged and stop their support of these people.
We're lucky. Too many voted for and a voice vote would have covered up who was voting which way.
We're just biding our time folks. The fact that this even made it into the bill should be scary enough.
Thankfully we still have a few true Americans in Congress that care about the American people.
But that number is dwindling.

They want power. They don't want their hands tied and think they should be able to do anything they want to defend America against "national security threats". The more scared they become the tighter the control they will want. Tell me terrorism isn't winning this war because it sure has invoked fear in Congress that they need to be able to do "whatever it takes".
Does anybody have a link that shows how each member voted?
