Voting against something is irrelevant when you are a minority. It won't stop anything. And they don't have filibusters.
Oh, please.

I understand the situation. The democrats ran away from their responsibility, which is to vote on the bill and try to rally support against it, and hid out in Oklahoma until the bill was dead.
I wonder how it would be if more state officials decided to run away instead of voting if they knew they couldn't win on an issue.
