Rants said he made the decision because Democrats appear to be unified in opposition to the death penalty, which means every Republican would need to support it for it to pass. Republicans hold a 51-49 majority. But Republicans are not unified. A small number in both houses say they will not support the death penalty because it would go against their religious beliefs.
True, but a little disingenuous. If it weren't for the tied Senate, Rants would have cracked the whip and tried to shove it through, even in the face of defeat, to get that roll call vote.
