The 25 GOP Senators that Voted to Give Reid Cloture, Allowing Simple Majority to Restore Obamacare Funding
Here is the followup to this post:
as promised. The 25 traitors are below. They should all be replaced with a tea party candidate.
(CNSNews.com) - Twenty-five Republican senators—led by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and Sen. John McCain (Ariz.)--voted today in favor of invoking cloture on the House-passed continuing resolution to fund the government past Monday, thus putting Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) in a position where he could strip the bill of its provisions defunding Obamacare with a simple party-line majority instead of the 60 votes needed on cloture.
House and Senate conservatives had hoped that the 46 Republicans in the Senate would join together and oppose cloture until Reid agreed to use a Senate rule that requires amendments to clear a 60-vote threshold. Had Senate Republicans done that, Reid would have needed to put together a bipartisan 60-vote majority in order to restore Obamacare funding.
But Senate Republicans split on the cloture vote. Twenty-five joined with Reid and all 54 Senate Democrats to vote for cloture. Nineteen Republicans voted against cloture. Two Republicans—Sen. Jeff Flake (Ariz.) and Sen. Orrin Hatch (Utah)—missed today’s votes because they were attending weddings. Flake was attending his son’s wedding and Hatch his granddaughter.
As predicted, soon after the 25 Republicans joined with all Senate Democrats to invoke cloture on the CR, Reid offered an amendment to strip the CR of the language defunding Obamacare. Reid’s amendment resurrecting Obamacare—which at that point, after cloture, needed only a simple majority to pass--was approved on a party-line vote. All 54 Democrats voted for it, and all 44 Republicans present in the Senate at the time voted against it.
Flake issued a statement saying he would have voted against cloture, and also against Reid’s amendment and the final CR that funded Obamacare. Hatch Spokesman Matthew Harakal said Hatch would have voted for cloture—making him the 26th Senate Republican to do so—but then would have voted against Reid’s amendment and the final CR.
