Right, and John Thune said he would filibuster.

All the GOP, plus Landrieu (D-LA), Nelson (D-NE), and Pryor (D-AR) voted Aye on the Cloture motion for Bolton. Specter was excused absent, but his vote would not have taken the total to 60. Inouye was also absent. Frist voted against cloture so he could make a motion to reconsider, which he did.

Vote Number: 129 - May 26, 2005, 06:17 PM

Thune will vote against Bolton, but at least he's going to let Bolton have the benefit of an up or down vote in the Senate.

You do have a point.
