A special lump of coal soaked in toxin-laden fracking water to the 8 nays:
NAYs ---8
Cruz (R-TX)
Inhofe (R-OK)
Johnson (R-WI)
Lankford (R-OK)
Lee (R-UT)
Paul (R-KY)
Sasse (R-NE)
Toomey (R-PA)

1. those who voted Nay

are those who should be voted out of their position. Surprising McConnell voted yea, but he is still a jerk.

[MBS]

5. yes and yes.

And McConnell should still be voted out, even if he voted yea on this bill. (I have no illusions that he voted for the bill for the right reasons. There was surely something in the bill for Kentucky, or for one of his corporate donors).

2. With the exception of

Lee (Utah) the rest are from state with little or no public lands. This factor really matters and people should look into why that is.

3. But Ben Sasse is a reasonable Republican - why, he said so himself!

4. How the hell did Pennsylvania re-elect Toomey??

And unlike Trump, who we can kick to the curb next year, Toomey is a 2016 mistake that can't be fixed until 2022.
