I Am ENRAGED

30 (THIRTY!) out of 40 Senate Republicans voted against an amendment that would withhold defense contracts from companies that "restrict their employees from taking workplace sexual assault, battery and discrimination cases to court."

This has actually happened, most infamously, to a Halliburton/KBR employee, but to others as well. The amendment did pass 68 to 30.

Here are the twisted details.

Oh and everyone's favorite Maverick was one the distinguished 30. Seriously, how do he and the rest of these little creeps sleep at night?

I desperately hope the Dems make a concerted effort to attack the Senate Repugs on this vote. It's absolutely disgusting and the Repugs need to pay.
