219-212 with 8 Republicans voting yes. Unbelievable.
Minority Leader John Boehner attempted a mini filibuster on the floor of the House today while giving his final remarks on H.R. 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. Boehner took over an hour with his remarks while going over much of the 300 page amendment that was added at 3 am this morning. Unfortunately, his efforts were not enough as the measure still passed.
Hopefully, we will defeat this bill in the Senate.
My only remaining question is who were the 8 Republicans?
Update:
Here is the roll call. The Republican dissenters were: Bono Mack, Castle, Kirk, Lance, LoBiondo, McHugh, Reichert, Smith (NJ). h/t Michelle Malkin
