Another three record votes were taken in the
Senate yesterday, on three amendments to the Homeland Security appropriations bill. As it turns out, the esteemed members of the California delegation to the U.S. Senate scored a perfect zero: they voted against all three amendments, and I would have voted for them. Their Red-Flagged Tracking Scores now stand thusly:
Senator Feinstein: 11%
Senator Boxer: 10%
Two of the amendments were to fund increasing border security and enforcement of existing immigration laws. These failed. The other amendment was to prevent confiscation of legal firearms during an emergency or major disaster. This passed.
UPDATE: My mistake. The three amendments above were part of a batch of seven records votes from
today, not yesterday. Incorporating the three from yesterday plus the other four from today (which include the vote on the bill as a whole), their Red-Flagged Tracking Scores now stand:
Senator Feinstein: 11%
Senator Boxer: 11%
