They killed the 'clean' bill and passed the one which has all of the amendments.

Was 8 - 90 the vote for the clean bill? If so, who were the 8?

Once the Senate passes amendments to a Bill, there is no "clean Bill" on which to vote.

There were at least 4 amendments agreed to on S, 1805:

*Kohl amdt. making subtle changes in S. 1805 language
*"assault weapons" ban extension by Feinstein
*gun locks amdt. by Boxer
*"gun show loophole" closed

The Bill, AS AMENDED, went down to an ugly 90-8 DEFEAT.
