Hi;
Although this bill has zero chance of passing the full Senate. The reason that these people voted to advance the bill for a full vote was to not look like they were total obstructionists. Later down the line, when republicans gain control of the Senate - they will remind the Democrats to be civil when 1 of thier bills is up and coming.
Not that I agree totally with all of this, It does serve a purpose that things must be moved on and a vote has to be taken. A lot of other issues need the attention of the Senate, and if this bill is a obsticle, then vote on it and move on.
It's going down anyway, why let the Liberals have something to complain about....
