3. Nah ....
Most pols don't have a conscience. The lobbyists don't hand them out. It is funny though.

6. If for some reason the bill wasn't going to pass
doesn't someone from the other side have to vote no, just so they'd have the right to bring it back up again? I think there's some stupid rule like this somewhere.

7. They said he could change his vote as long as there was time left
No mention about any issues with doing so
