John,

to repeat:

Note that it was a call for UNANIMOUS consent, NOT a vote. The Dems did NOT want to vote on it. THAT way it could have passed.

""As Democratic senators asked again and again for unanimous consent for a vote on a 30-day extension Thursday night, Bunning refused to go along."


The Dems chose NOT to bring it to a vote. The Dems control whta is voted on, NOT the Republicans.
