(36,974 posts)2. There were two different sexual assault bills: one from Gillibrand and one from McCaskill
Gillibrand bill: http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=113&session=2&vote=00059
McCaskill bill: http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=113&session=2&vote=00060
The Gillibrand bill was the best one - it is sad that it failed.
The McCaskill bill will not solve the problem
