Now the truth comes out-- Weenie and the rest of the spineless, brainless slugs in the democratic party didn't want the bill passed by simple majority because they didn't want to have to vote on controversial amendments to the bill once it was completed. Instead they insisted on a 2/3rds majority so they could run for their political lives. It also turns out that 12 Republicans voted for the bill anyway and many others were going to vote for the bill but changed their mind once Weenie threw his Mort Goldman like hissy fit.
