Because Israel didn't want them to vote for it. I'm deadly serious.

The only argument I've heard is that it would not have impeached him without the numbers so they are waiting till they have their majority Jan 3rd to do so...I don't know why that matters....but if the goal was to send the voters who just Blue Wave-d you into power that you were going to be just as feckless WITH power as without, this was a solid way to show that.

And Tiste is right, 9 of the 11 Dems are AIPAC funded and Israel wants this war to continue.

It was a procedural trick done by the outgoing Republicans to hold the vote when they knew certain Democrats were held up by traffic. Several of the Democrats got there late and missed the shortened vote (and put in symbolic votes).

This probably gets revived again in the new Congress next year.
