(29,290 posts)never ends even when the garbage is debunked. Next up, government shut down. A tsunami of garbage is coming, the waters are receding and the birds are acting weird. The lusty desire to punish Democrats for no reason and spread hate is palpable.

(24,055 posts)This was discussed in depth in several threads yesterday.
The senate resolution was passed by unanimous consent, which not the same as unanimously.
Unanimous consent is a voice vote, with no record of individual votes. It can only pass if no one objects. To pass under UC, a quorum of 51 senators is required, and the republicans have 53.
It is likely that many/most of the Dems werent even in the chamber when the UC vote was held.
If a recorded vote were held, I cant imagine Warren, Sanders or most others Dems voting yes.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
