Ban Earmarks
February 02, 2012
The vote was on whether the Senate should permanently ban congressional earmarks. The conservative vote was "Aye".
Majority support would have been achieved if every Republican had supported the amendment, but many Republicans are reluctant to give up their earmark addiction.
