From Politico.com:
The Senate Judiciary Committee has approved a hugely controversial ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips, but the measure faces nearly certain defeat on the Senate floor.
The proposal, authored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), bans 157 different models of assault weapons, as well as magazines containing more than 10 bullets.
The vote was 10 to 8, with all Democrats supporting it and all Republicans opposed.
Something tells me there wasn’t much Obama “bipartisanship” in that vote. “Bipartisanship” according to Mr Obama means that every Republican and Independent vote precisely as do the Demorats. Wait; does that mean there isn’t any “bipartisanship” on the Demorat side?
Correct!

No surprise there… And it’s interesting to watch how the various channels ‘played’ that interaction… Fox showed both sides, CNN and MSNBC ONLY showed Feinstein’s response…
Holy crap, good thing I was sitting down when I read your response! CNN and MSNBC only showed Feinstein – ?? Are you KIDDING??

I have NO idea, I watch FOX News and local news… I tend to get ill watching CNN and PMSNBC…
But I have to say, MY Senator kicked YOUR Senator a new ass… 😛
And I am sure BZ is glad that happened! When you have a shitty senator you do not feel defeated if she gets her ass kicked.
