To my knowledge no Democrat in either the House or Senate voted against the bill. If you know of one tell who that person(s) are. As I posted before, and you confirmed, anyone can ask for votes to be recorded. If anyone thought this bill was bad they should have asked for a recorded vote.
To say the bill was "rammed" through is a lie. The bill had been floating around in one form or another for 3 or 4 years before it was finally voted on. There were hearings where the Postal Union testified about their concerns -- as was noted in the link I provided.
They may now have gotten cold feet about the bill but it is BS to say there was some big conspiracy to end the post office when progressive Democrats sponsored the bill and the postal union supported it. Maybe someone who was competent should have read the bill before voting on it and alerted people to the dangers before a vote instead of waiting years later. No one, including the union, said one word. Not a word.
