Note, only three Republican nays.. Rand plus Lee (Utah) and Murkowski (AK)

In seven states both senators voted nay - and the honor roll is:

Alaska
Hawaii
Montana
New Mexico
Oregon
Vermont
Washington

Pretty heavily Western list - it must get kind of lonely in Vermont sometimes..

Of Course it did

Thanks for a bump

Well said rp4pres.

Senate voted 73-23.
The 73 traitors should be voted out of office ASAP.

I visualize Patrick Henry's speech on this matter.
Wish he was here in our time speaking the truth.
