This is very good, if somewhat expected, news.

The Senate just defeated cloture on the bad Intelligence committee bill. The bill needed 60 votes, but only received 48 in favor, with 45 opposed. The full roll call is here.

New votes opposing the Intel bill:

Obama
Bayh
Rockefeller
Clinton
McCaskill
Inouye
Johnson
Specter
Carper
Salazar
Mikulski

Senators Ben Nelson, Mark Pryor, and Mary Landrieu all continued to vote against the right position. Senator Landrieu had initially voted “no,” but changed her vote to “aye” when it was clear the vote would fail cloture.

The vote on the 30 day extension to the PAA is about to start. It is also expected to fail cloture.
