According to Politico some members of Congress are dumbfounded; dumbfounded I tell you, that people would care that they voted against Sen. Al Franken’s measure to bar defense contractors from protecting rapists. “Privately, GOP sources acknowledge that they failed to anticipate the political consequences of a “no” vote on the amendment. And several aides said that Republicans are engaged in an internal blame game about why they agreed to a roll-call vote on the measure, rather than a simple voice vote that would have allowed the opposing senators to duck criticism.”
