Both votes, as one would expect, were the same.
Here is footage from the response by leaders of the Senate after the passage. I apologize for the sync. I ripped it from a Realaudio stream and am too lazy to figure out why the conversion is off.
These guys are really self absorbed ass hats. They pushed for programs which caused this mess and now they blame others even when the evidence is overwhelming. The talking heads in the MSM generally just parrot the Democrats and Republicans condemnation of the supposed free market we have and their call for fascism. And what is that Dodd said? “America I hope saw Congress, the United States Senate, acting as the forbearers and the Founders intended it to act.” I’m not sure but voting completely contrary to their constituents desires doesn’t seem to be what the Founders intended in a representative democracy.

That high pitched noise you hear in the background isn’t tinnitus, it’s the founding fathers approaching 30,000 RPM in their respective graves.
