Sep 22

or at least not object to, this resolution. It appears that these resolutions can be passed as long as there's at least one warm body on the senate floor? Could a senator hypothetically sneak in at midnight and call for a resolution and vote for it all by himself?

Thank you for this explanation. I couldn't imagine that Dem senators would vote for, Ocelot II Sep 22 #2

Have the Democrats ever pulled this sweet trick? leftstreet Sep 22 #3

Chuck Schumer used the rare "standing hold on unanimous consent" procedure, as well as blue slip holds lapucelle Sep 22 #7

keeping in mind that humans are fallible, and some more than others, i suggest a simpler explanation unblock Sep 22 #4

Perhaps, but Tuberville has a solid record of devious procedural moves. lapucelle Sep 22 #8

That's not devious. Obnoxious, certainly, but not devious unblock Sep 22 #22

Tuberville "not devious"... Ha! Cha Sep 22 #41

oddly, though, what's an official senate meeting if there's not a quorum? unblock Sep 22 #5

I would imagine that the Senate is in session whenever it's stated on the calendar. lapucelle Sep 22 #38

The article implies there were no dems there unblock Sep 22 #40

The session is on the Senate calendar. N/T lapucelle Sep 23 #45

(Edited) We should verify in the CR about who voted rather than speculate LearnedHand Sep 22 #6

Stop it. Neither Senator Kelly nor Senator Gallegos co-sponsored the resolution. lapucelle Sep 22 #10

Oh you're exactly right and I was looking at the wrong Senate Resolution LearnedHand Sep 22 #13

There were no votes to be recorded Fiendish Thingy Sep 22 #12

The CR will never list the votes because there was no roll call. lapucelle Sep 22 #14

There is no record of a roll call vote because there was no roll call vote. lapucelle Sep 22 #16

If you want to verify by the Congressional Record, here is what the Congressional Record states. lapucelle Sep 22 #18

The Congressional Record does not record who was present Wiz Imp Sep 22 #23

I am a little confused. Katinfl Sep 22 #9

Officially? No, although on October 14, 2025 right wingers will be commemorating. N/T lapucelle Sep 22 #15

The Senate passed resolution declares October 14, 2025 A Day of Remembrance Wiz Imp Sep 22 #25

Thanks for the clarification. Katinfl Sep 22 #28

Yeah, but some clickbait video said "UNANIMOUSLY" in all caps Fiendish Thingy Sep 22 #11

Don't blame this on videos. In fact I don't recall seeing videos declaring this at all. Wiz Imp Sep 22 #27

I think it's worth pointing out the difference between passing unanimously and unanimous consent, but the rest of this tritsofme Sep 22 #19

This was a controversial resolution, and there are folks having a field day with anti-Democratic Party messaging lapucelle Sep 22 #20

This might be the only place it is controversial. tritsofme Sep 22 #21

That's a fair point, but facts are the best ammunition in pushing back lapucelle Sep 22 #24

I believe the Democrats in the Senate Prairie_Seagull Sep 22 #26

That was the House resolution. It was different from the Senate resolution. lapucelle Sep 22 #29

Thanks lapucelle. Prairie_Seagull Sep 22 #30

Not exactly correct. Wiz Imp Sep 22 #31

Thanks Wiz Imp. nt Prairie_Seagull Sep 22 #34

Will there be a public execution for the suspect soon? twodogsbarking Sep 22 #32

At the 46 second mark of this video is the Senate when Tuberville calls for Wiz Imp Sep 22 #33

It sounds like one freaking voice --- Rick Scott's. lapucelle Sep 22 #35

I so appreciate your efforts to set the record straight mcar Sep 22 #36

Thanks. I think Wiz Imp came up with the best receipt of all... lapucelle Sep 22 #37
