And of course the New York Post notes that the Senate "unanimously consented" (rather than proceeded through unanimous consent), morphs it into a "unanimous decision", and then further muddies the waters by conflating the House resolution with the one in the Senate, making it sound like Jamie Raskin voted for Charlie Kirk Day, even though there was nothing in the House resolution about a special day for the vile racist.

1:00-1:09 in the video

"the surprising *unanimous decision* came despite hesitation and debate among Democrats as to whether or not to support the resolution. And as US Representative Jamie Raskin pleaded with his fellow Party members not to fall into what he called 'an obvious political trap...'

Thank you! Alice B. Sep 2025 #46

Thank you for this explanation. I couldn't imagine that Dem senators would vote for, Ocelot II Sep 2025 #2

Have the Democrats ever pulled this sweet trick? leftstreet Sep 2025 #3

Chuck Schumer used the rare "standing hold on unanimous consent" procedure, as well as blue slip holds lapucelle Sep 2025 #7

keeping in mind that humans are fallible, and some more than others, i suggest a simpler explanation unblock Sep 2025 #4

Perhaps, but Tuberville has a solid record of devious procedural moves. lapucelle Sep 2025 #8

That's not devious. Obnoxious, certainly, but not devious unblock Sep 2025 #22

Tuberville "not devious"... Ha! Cha Sep 2025 #41

oddly, though, what's an official senate meeting if there's not a quorum? unblock Sep 2025 #5

I would imagine that the Senate is in session whenever it's stated on the calendar. lapucelle Sep 2025 #38

The article implies there were no dems there unblock Sep 2025 #40

The session is on the Senate calendar. N/T lapucelle Sep 2025 #45

(Edited) We should verify in the CR about who voted rather than speculate LearnedHand Sep 2025 #6

Stop it. Neither Senator Kelly nor Senator Gallegos co-sponsored the resolution. lapucelle Sep 2025 #10

Oh you're exactly right and I was looking at the wrong Senate Resolution LearnedHand Sep 2025 #13

There were no votes to be recorded Fiendish Thingy Sep 2025 #12

The CR will never list the votes because there was no roll call. lapucelle Sep 2025 #14

There is no record of a roll call vote because there was no roll call vote. lapucelle Sep 2025 #16

If you want to verify by the Congressional Record, here is what the Congressional Record states. lapucelle Sep 2025 #18

The Congressional Record does not record who was present Wiz Imp Sep 2025 #23

I am a little confused. Katinfl Sep 2025 #9

Officially? No, although on October 14, 2025 right wingers will be commemorating. N/T lapucelle Sep 2025 #15

The Senate passed resolution declares October 14, 2025 A Day of Remembrance Wiz Imp Sep 2025 #25

Thanks for the clarification. Katinfl Sep 2025 #28

Yeah, but some clickbait video said "UNANIMOUSLY" in all caps Fiendish Thingy Sep 2025 #11

Don't blame this on videos. In fact I don't recall seeing videos declaring this at all. Wiz Imp Sep 2025 #27

I think it's worth pointing out the difference between passing unanimously and unanimous consent, but the rest of this tritsofme Sep 2025 #19

This was a controversial resolution, and there are folks having a field day with anti-Democratic Party messaging lapucelle Sep 2025 #20

This might be the only place it is controversial. tritsofme Sep 2025 #21

That's a fair point, but facts are the best ammunition in pushing back lapucelle Sep 2025 #24

I believe the Democrats in the Senate Prairie_Seagull Sep 2025 #26

That was the House resolution. It was different from the Senate resolution. lapucelle Sep 2025 #29

Thanks lapucelle. Prairie_Seagull Sep 2025 #30

Not exactly correct. Wiz Imp Sep 2025 #31

Thanks Wiz Imp. nt Prairie_Seagull Sep 2025 #34
