72-11?!?
Geeze I figured it wouldn't pass but didn't realize support was quite that weak.
Here's the list who actually voted in favor. All democrats except for, Rand Paul of all people? Since when does he give a crap about human rights? Guess he's just in favor of any bill that might reduce foreign aid.
Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky Democratic Sen. Martin Heinrich of New Mexico Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland Democratic Sen. Ed Markey of Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Laphonza Butler of California Democratic Sen. Ben Ray Lujan of New Mexico Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii Democratic Sen. Peter Welch of Vermont Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of MassachusettsIf you're senator isn't on here, would be a good time to write them.
