There are still at least 207 Members who will now want to go back to the drawing board and try again in a day or so.
And most of the Members who spoke in opposition to the plan today were clear that they wanted to do something. Just not this.
Congress hasn't adjourned yet. And they don't have to until they're ready to. The people who set that schedule are those who voted in favor of this plan, and you can bet they'll stick around.
The vote is closed. The bill is defeated. 205-228 -- there was a last, and I mean really last, minute switcher. A Dem, switching from yea to nay. Could have been a yea voter looking to move to reconsider. Partisan breakdown: 140 Dems for, 95 against, and 65 Rs for, 133 against. One non-voter, and that was Jerry Weller (R-IL).
Republicans (was that John Carter?) now asking about making a motion to reconsider. That's the prerogative of a Member on the prevailing side, which was the "nay" side. But it looks like that freaked people out, too, and they're moving on to the delayed suspensions. They'll want a break, some time to huddle, and a chance to decide on procedure from here.
