Why don't you link to what they voted on instead of just a list of names? Is it because there is the odd chance that someone might actually read for themselves?
Second paragraph, folks. Look for SA 139. That's what the vote was on.
SEC. 3__. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND TO UPHOLD SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND PREVENT THE UNITED STATES FROM ENTERING INTO THE UNITED NATIONS ARMS TRADE TREATY. The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate may revise the allocations of a committee or committees, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, motions, or conference reports that relate to upholding Second Amendment rights, which shall include preventing the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty, by the amounts provided in such legislation for those purposes, provided that such legislation would not increase the deficit or revenues over either the period of the total of fiscal years 2013 through 2018 or the period of the total of fiscal years 2013 through 2023.

They are traitors for not supporting unlimited, non accountable, discretionary spending on the part of a committee chair for whatever reason he or she may come up with? Wow, didn't see that definition in the dictionary! I thought fiduciary accountability and spending reduction was what most of us were screaming for. Apparently not.
But continue with your rant....

These Democrats do not want to reduce deficits, they will of course vote NAY on that portion as well...
But that is NOT what this vote was on and is NOT what this thread is about, now please be gone
