Republican: 94 yea 134 Nay
Democratic: 111 yea 83 Nay
Pretty close and party lines didn't seem all that important.
- protomyth 13y agoSome of the Republicans were probably swayed by the Heritage Foundation's critique of the amendment's wording. This is the type of issue that won't be a party line vote, but I would be curious about an age breakdown.
- marcamillion 13y agoThis surprised me too - especially given the rhetoric I was hearing from the lamestream media about this vote being cast along party lines. Given that the majority of Dems in the house voted for it - in fact more than Republicans - I think that is a MAJOR, MAJOR rebuke to Obama. I am sure he will notice that.
