Tester doesn't surprise me. Although a Democrat, with him it seems a "sometimes" thing. This is one of those times. I do like him but he does lean right on some issues.

Michael Bennet I can't comment on because I am not that familiar with him.

Thanks for posting on my thread.

I say we just keep trying to bring this issue up and humiliate them in front of their constituents, especially when they run for reelection.
