50. GOP coup? I don't think so!
Frist and his GOP pals couldn't push it through this session

Gee Benchly the house passed it's version of the bill 285-140 with the power balance being:
Republicans: 229
Democrats: 205
Independents: 1

That means some Democrats voted for H. R. 1036.

Now if we look at the Senate we will see that the bill S. 659: "Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act was introduced by Sens. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) and Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and is cosponsored by Democrats Daschle, BREAUX, DORGAN, JOHNSON, LANDRIEU, LINCOLN, MILLER, Nelson (Nebraska), and Reed.

So it's just a GOP thing eh? Tell us a another fairy tale.
