Someone over at Ron Paul

Someone over at Ron Paul forums made the point that this wasn't actually one of the "hotline" votes, so Rand didn't actually consent to anything. The only way that anyone could've objected to this bill is if they had yelled "no" on the Senate floor. Rand may not have even been on the Senate floor. And even if he was, Rand is smart enough to know that there's absolutely no point in forcing a vote that would end up being a 99-1 vote. Rand is smart and understands the right time to fight these battles.
