MSNBC’s website said that the Senate “rejected” the pipeline, but the vote was 59 Yea, 41 Nay. Did it require 60%, of is it just assumed that Obama will veto it?
Yeah - I was a little surprised by this “summary”.
True. You need 60 votes to “stop” a filibuster - IF there is a filibuster! (Or unless Reid “wants” only 51 to stop a filibuster on something HE wants to get through.
But, the vote is done: 59 - 41. So, why is the bill not going to Obola for a veto?
