- ccrush 10y agoDo you have a source for this? Not arguing. Just looking for data.

Grouped By Vote Position is most useful for this question, they don't offer a by-party grouping but it's pretty easy to scan all 50 YEAs and see every one is followed by an "R." All the NAYs are from Democrats or independents. Senator Isakson (R) didn't vote because he's recovering from surgery, I don't know why Rand Paul (R) didn't vote.

- 2xlbuds 10y agoRand Paul cosponsored the bill, so he was an effective yes. I don't know all of the rules of the senate, but apparently it is common to abstain on your own bill.
- vkou 10y ago48 republicans for. 46 democrats, 2 independents against. 2 republicans abstained. The democratic party is greedy and selfish, but their positions on many issues are far less anti-human.
- wodencafe 10y agoYes, their disregard for privacy stems from the last 8 years of unchecked warrantless wiretapping, Snowden revelations, etc.
