Which 28 OILY DEMOCRATS Just JOINED THE GOP to Vote for Keystone XL? [View all]

[Segami]

The House Republicans have been having an exciting week.

On Wednesday, they voted to roll back Dod-Frank.

Yesterday, they voted to weaken the Affordable Care Act.

And today, they voted to approve the Keystone XL pipeline.

And, as always, there are a number of Democrats happy to join them.

The Keystone vote today was 266 to 153, with one "PRESENT" vote. Justin Amash (MI-03) always votes present because, although he supports the pipeline, he does not believe that Congress should be passing legislation on behalf of a single company.



28 Democrats joined the Republican caucus in passing the bill:


Brad Ashford (NE-02)

Sanford Bishop (GA-02)

Bob Brady (PA-01)

Cheri Bustos (IL-17)

Jim Clyburn (SC-06)

Jim Cooper (TN-05)

Jim Costa (CA-16)

Henry Cuellar (TX-28)

Mike Doyle (PA-14)

Gwen Graham (FL-02)

Al Green (TX-09)

Gene Green (TX-29)

Sheila Jackson Lee (TX-18)

Dan Lipinski (IL-03)

David Loebsack (IA-02)

Sean Maloney (NY-18)

Patrick Murphy (FL-18)

Rick Nolan (MN-08)

Donald Norcross (NJ-01)

Colin Peterson (MN-07)

Cedric Richmond (LA-02)

Kurt Schrader (OR-05)

David Scott (GA-13)

Terri Sewell (AL-07)

Albio Sires (NJ-08)

Marc Veasey (TX-33)

Filemon Vela (TX-34)

Tim Walz (MN-01)



Ruben Hinojosa (TX-15) and Cedric Richmond (LA-02) were not in attendance but probably would have also voted YES had they been there.

The 153 NO votes is sufficient to sustain a veto, so this isn't going anywhere.
