FISA closure vote “Yes” means what again?
not 20, but 27. 27 Dem Senators voted "No" (5+ / 0-)
on FISA. only 19 Dem Senators voted "yes". the extra vote in the 28 is Bernie Saunders. And none of the commenters in this thread questioned the numbers? I'm sorry, I'm not trying to pick on you or the commenters here, this mis-perception is everywhere on this site. and it's a damned shame, no matter how one feels about failure of the Dem leadership to block the FISA vote, or Obama's decision not to filibuster.

Block the FISA vote? Yeah, right. Uh..tell me again what that means? You ‘fuse'n me! Stop talkin' so fast! OK. And a “Nay” vote. Uh…tell me again what a “Nay” vote means to the bill? I listenin’ hard now.
I stopped watching both the Senate and Congress sessions on C-Span due to the fact I understood everything going on up to the vote and would get frustrated and lost. When the people would be voting, that writing came up telling you what the vote was all about, I would almost always get confused. The wording was so backwards. They always uses conflicting words I.e., it was up following a downward trend that never recovered or something like that. I just gave up.
Now with this FISA vote, I generally think I understand what went on but not with 100% certainty. I do not know what a “closure vote” is and the like. Maybe if someone would tell me what went on like, tell me a story like, using the Three Little Pigs or something as a format? I promise I’ll understand for sure then. Promise. Swear. Cross my heart and hope to die. Lil' feet just'a hop'n 'round'n ready to go!
As always,
