Good grief!
Republican Cao from Louisiana voted for this thing!
Oh, hell.

I thought he might. He won a the seat formerly held by “Dollar” Bill Jefferson, a congressman who is now facing up to 35 years in prison for corruption. His district is heavily democratic and he only won due to the fact that the election was delayed until after the Presidential election last year. If the vote had taken place on the same day as the Presisdential election, he likely would have lost due to higher black turnout. Anyway, he will probably be out next election.
