The senate rejected the bill. They did not fail to do anything. The bill failed to get the approval of the senate.
But one thing we know. In the senate did not fail.
They, meaning a large number of senators, intended to do something, and then couldn't do it. This is the standard way every resolution which does not pass is described.
The wording here makes it seem like the senate wanted this but failed to get it.
So again the senate failing to do something the senate said they did not want to do is weird.
It comes down to some people in the senate wanted this, but they are not the senate.
Politicians have been treating a minority position as the institution’s will for some time. It’s our job to look past that and not be fooled even if you share the same minority position.
