Senator Ensign votes against unemployment extension
Nevada Republican Senator John Ensign voted against the unemployment extensions for 2.5 million people today, whose benefits were allowed to expire earlier this month because of the Republican filibuster on the extensions.
The vote was 60-40 with one Democrat, Senator Ben Nelson (NE) voting against the extension and two Republicans voting yes, Senators Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, both from Maine.
The Democrats had an added bonus today with the swearing in of Senator Carte Goodwin (D-WV) who was picked by W. Virginia’s Governor Joe Manchin to finish out the term of Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) who recently died.
