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

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

Thanks Wiz Imp. nt Prairie_Seagull Sep 22 #34

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
