I wonder if the Rosebud tribe sitting in the gallery preyed on the conscience of the Democrats (some of them) .

There was a 91-year old Lakota lady talking to the tribe and she told them to FIGHT = and the people said "No pipeline will go through this land."

They stopped the trucks long time ago from what I understood.

TAKE THAT YOU LOUSY KOCH BROTHERS...

Beaten by 41 Dems and and Cowboys and Indians.... Yipee.

I don't know at what point it's at, Barbara Boxer is arguing against the bill, she has argued long, well and often...

You can hear the Lakotas very softly at the end of the vote, and if you keep your eyes glued to the screen, you'll see Elizabeth Warren (president of the Senate during this time) sneakily wipe a smile off her face at the sound of the voices.

She was happy for them too...
