[morcey2]

Did murkowski just change her vote? So did Reid (NV).

Nevermind. Heard the .....ski name wrong.

 

[wojownik]

60 votes were needed to pass - they only got 54

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

54-46! Toomey-Manchin fails. Harry Reid voted against it even.

Grassley-Cruz alternative is up.

 

[tyeo098]

Okay, now for Grassly Amendment:

Some lady is yelling? Biden gets mad tells lady to shut up. Lol

52 aye
48 nay

Cruz Fails

 

[gunslinger15]

On to the Cruz Amendment

 

[Twmaster]

OK, what's next for us to push our Senators on? Lautenbooger?

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Calling roll for Grassley-Cruz alternative now.

 

[beeenbag]

reid must have decided he wanted another term.

 

[dab102999]

Did anyone catch who yelled shame on you while Biden was reading vote count??

 

[gunslinger15]

They spend more time pecking around the floor like my laying hens than anything else!

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Huge support for alternative. Will pass?... Hmmm maybe not, going to be close; but several TM votes got onboard.

 

[Twmaster]

Bart, can you point me to the 'cliff notes' of Grassley/Cruz?

 

[tyeo098]

52 aye
48 nay

Cruz Fails

 

[Ashcons]

Anyone have a link to the vote tally? I'm surprised that Pryor came out against the bill - I guess he faced a LOT of pressure from voters here since his replies to my e-mails in January and February were along the lines of, "Well I support 2A, but I will also consider voting for any reasonable gun control legislation," and had me assuming he would vote with his party unless he had a lot of Arkansas gnawing on his ear to vote against new legislation.

 

[gunslinger15]

Dems cant get exactly what they want so they would rather have nothing. Cruz's bill addresses the root causes and they dont want to lose opportunities to dance on graves in the future.

 

[jbrown50]

52 YEA - 48 NAY for Grassley-Cruz. 60 needed.

 

[Inebriated]

EDIT - Ignore me.

 

[Bartholomew Roberts]

Already voted.

[jbrown50]

Schumer all of a sudden believes in states rights. That was a laugh.

 

[tyeo098]

Thank you ,gentlemen ,for your fine reporting. Tye was quite entertaining.

Well thanks!
I had to go to the bathroom and missed the first half of the last vote.
Bart (can I call ya Bart? ) seems to be doing a good job of keeping track. So I'll sit back as to not clog the thread. Keep track of his post here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showpost.php?p=8877530&postcount=144 to see tallies.

 

[LubeckTech]

What??? - I don't believe Chuckie does not want to support the law abiding CCW holders of the country in any way possible!
