UPDATE: COPE PASSES HOUSE late Thursday Night

To further stack the odds, they went ahead and held the debate and vote tonight after Tom DeLay's farewell address. Fitting tribute, I suppose, sacrifice the finest engine of civic discourse and free speech on the altar of special interest as a going away present.


And yes, we got spanked as expected. The Markey Amendment failed 152-269, with 11 Rs and 1 independent joining 140 Ds. On the nay side were 211 Rs and 58 Ds. COPE itself passed 321-101.

On to the Senate!

Here is the breakdown for the Markey Amendment. Note that Delahunt voted “yes” on Markey. Way to go John! And proof positive that we can get legislators to change their views.
