Posted at 10:22am on Jun. 6, 2008 Breaking News: Cloture For Cap And Trade Defeated!
Well done Boys And Girls...well done.
By haystack
The disaster, originally known as "Cap and Trade", and now known as the Boxer amendment has been stopped in the Senate [for now]. A "Motion to Invoke Cloture on the Boxer Amdt. No. 4825; In the nature of a substitute" has JUST been defeated. [3/5 majority was not reached] Take THAT, Babs.
Here is the vote tally and I say to all the Senators who voted against cloture "good job folks-well done!"
But...as I am always wont to do, let us advertise the Republicans that voted FOR cloture so they might be given a good scolding by their constituents before the bill actually GETS to a vote...which we KNOW will happen sooner or later:
Collins (R-ME), Dole (R-NC), Martinez (R-FL), Smith (R-OR), Snowe (R-ME), Sununu (R-NH), Warner (R-VA)
As an aside, here are the R's "Not Voting":
Coleman (R-MN), Cornyn (R-TX), Craig (R-ID), DeMint (R-SC), Graham (R-SC), Gregg (R-NH), McCain (R-AZ), Murkowski (R-AK), Specter (R-PA), Stevens (R-AK)
To the Republicans (and Democrats) that can't stomach sticking it to us little guys anymore?
This Bud's for you!
