No. But, his election did stop the House bill, which was measures worse than the Senate bill. It's tough to lay the blame for this at the feet of a guy who was in the MA state Senate when the coup de grâce was delivered.
If the Reps had any fortitude they would introduce legislation to overturn this immediately and shut down any Senate action except for military spending and support until the Dems pass the overturn...without 60 votes nothing gets past a filibuster! Let them know NOTHING further will be considered or passed through the Senate until such time that this monstrosity against the will of the American people is taken off the books.
Getting Rino’s to stick together to do this might take some miraculous doing however!
IF the RINOS Collins & Snowe had let the thing die in committee it would have helped. When are they up for re-election?
