""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."


And Bobert's tarring of all Republicans is obviously from a bigotted mind.

"The Senate's GOP leadership did not support him in his objections."

Seems to me that the GOP leadership didn't need to back him. He'd already done the job FOR them.

If it had gone to a vote, the GOP would probably have squashed it anyway (that's what they normally do), only then they would have had to back him.

Same result either way.

Heads the GOP win - Tails the Dems lose.   Same old same old.
