ENDA passes the Senate

ENDA which we discussed in class earlier this week passed the senate today by 15 votes. The only opposition came from Republican senators (out of those who voted) and the against arguments focused on morality and religion according to the New York Times. The article is here:

And they also did a breakdown of the votes by party, senator and state which was interesting as it gave some indication of how opinions on the issue vary geographically:
