VOTES Roll Call: 63-37 with 5 useful idiot Republicans who fail to see we no longer live in normal times: Susan Collins (R-ME), Lindsay Graham (R-SC), Judd Gregg (R-NH), Richard Lugar (R-IN), Olympia Snowe (R-ME). They don’t fool us anymore: “[T[he final margin here was kabuki in the same way that the final votes on ObamaCare were kabuki: Once the margin needed for passage was secured, everyone else was free to vote however they needed to in order to protect themselves at the polls.”
