Reply #16: Your comment shows that you have absolutely no idea how 'unanimous consent' works or is. [View All]

ALL 100 Senators 'agreed' to the resolution. They are sent the resolution, they have ample time to 'object' if no one objects during the time allotted then it is adopted and it is acknowledged that ALL 100 Senators have agreed - that is why is it called UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

1) Unanimous Consent resolutions do not get a roll call vote.
2) Nothing was 'hidden' and no one requested anything to be hidden.
3) Go bone up on 'the hotline procedure'.
4) There is no tally because EVERYONE has agreed to the resolution and NONE of them has to be there - so ALL 100 senators names would be listed if there was a list. If even one senator were to have objected (before there was an unanimous agreement) then it would not be 'unanimous consent', it would have gone to the floor for debate and then a roll call vote would be called - which is DIFFERENT that passing a resolution via unanimous consent.

What your comment has proven to me is that you really don't know what you're talking about.

Goodnight.

p.s. You should have been watching Lawrence O'donnell the past few days, you might have learned something.
Instead of arguing online about what you don't know about, you could head over to the MSNBC website and let Lawrence explain things to you.
