Further to the hot story today about the Senate Dems trying to stop earmark reform, it's worthwhile to note that while Senate Dems voted overwhelmingly to kill earmark reform, Senate Republicans voted overwhelmingly to support it.
What was specifically being voted on was a motion to table (i.e. kill) an earmark reform amendment.
