Originally posted by HatchetJack: Most legislators (both parties) just vote as their floor leaders tell them to vote. Why waste time reading a bill and trying to understand it when you are obligated to a party that will work to defeat you if you don't vote the correct way? Most bills that get defeated get defeated before ever going to committee or in committee. If you can get a bill out of committee, you're 90% home free. At least in Indiana.

I get that. But a unanimous vote on anything still shocks me. You would think that at least one of them would accidentally hit "No".
