Your point is not lost on me.

Don't forget, the Republicans have the overwhelming majority in the House. They brag about it. They bring up all bills for voting, the Dems cannot bring bills to the floor. The Dems were not in any way responsible for this vote happening. They don't hold the majority. They don't control the outcome of the vote, of what bills pass in the House - they cannot. The Republicans control completely the outcome of what bills are voted upon, and the way the House votes.

The Dems simply sat back and let the Republicans live with that reality.
