At least the Dems can show they have a backbone to their constituents. Right now, they're like overcooked noodles.

The entire House delegation (perhaps save one - I seem to recall the each party had one that went against their party) voted against the bill.

The majority of democrats in the Senate voted against it.

There was plenty of opposition to the bill. It’s not like the entire party rolled over. Far from it.

Technically, I suspect all of the democrats in the Senate voted against the bill. But 10 of them voted to close debate and allow the bill to come to a vote so they could vote against it.
