The Freedom to Read Amendment has failed to pass. It failed by one vote, after House Republican Leadership held the vote open twice as long as originally scheduled as they persuaded Republicans to switch their votes. They stopped the vote when it was tied at 210-210, just enough to fail the amendment. I don’t know what to say, except this makes me sad, even if the amendment would have been vetoed by the president anyway. Sad, sad, sad.
