Memorable quote, although wont have an effect on this runoff election, would be Boehner calling the prez of US stupid. It can be used as a fundraising mechanism in future 2015 gubernatorial elections. Bold move by Boehner, which emboldened Elizabeth Warren wing of Dem party.

Justin Amash voted "Present." 

He makes an interesting point about the propriety of this legislation.  On a previous version of this bill:

Amash is correct. Good for him.

The reason GOP doesn't want a broad bill on this is because it opens the door for the EPA to protect more land for environmental interests.

Or blackmail more oil companies for donations?

That, too. But I think the environmentalist boogie man is more prevalent in their mind.

Begich, Udall and Landrieu would have benefitted from this bill being passed before the election, bad timing on Reid's part, it divided the Senate right down the middle and assisted in losing control. Way to go Reid.
