Mark Levin reported on this. He said that Boehner didn't introduce it through committee or something, instead took it straight to the house floor which meant it needed a 2/3s vote instead a majority.

Mark couldn't understand why it was done this way, because it would have had enough votes if done the right way.

Even if all the Republicans would have voted for it and they
did for the most part you would have needed at least 40 democrat votes to get the 2/3 required. Basically the
went along party lines Republicans Yes-Democrats NO.

If only Bush had not signed this in the first place and from what I understand this was put into an Energy bill
by a Democrat and Bush signed it.

It was done that way because our dear leaders wanted that result. Wise up people, there is a political class, and there is us, the subjects.

We have been shown our place once again, we should learn to love it.
