Because they didn't want the liability legislation to begin with. This was their RAT plan - poison the bill so much that no Republican could vote for it and face his constituents.

And they just tied up at least 3 days of Senate floor time. Delay, delay, delay, filibuster, delay.. it's all part of the "legislative plan" this year. Watch and see.

But why such a big margin 90-8....

True enough. ....But they wanted the AWB exension badly.

I don't agree .. I think it was a set-up by the repubs.

The repubs wanted a clean bill. First they had to kill the bill with the amendments. They did! Now they can start over with a clean bill - after the November elections, when they can get it through the senate - clean!!

The rats think they defeated us - when in reality I believe the repubs have just pulled off a coup against the dems.

And .. the repubs have put the dems ON THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD FOR BEING AGAINST UNFAIR GUN LAWSUITS, and voting against the bill they had loaded with amendments. This is just too cool.
