sigh...

I asked to fix this in the House thread:

In addition, the vast majority of civil forfeiture is conducted at the state level, and general law enforcement is not within the constitutional jurisdiction of the federal government, meaning this bill would have little effect, even if passed.

True, so we can pass a bill reforming civil forfeiture at the federal level, and the regions can follow our lead.

but for some reason, it wasn't amended by anyone.

I didn't recognize that as asking for an amendment. I was just assuming that as it was a federal bill concerning criminal justice, this bill would be interpreted as something that  applied to federal criminal justice policy.

I see. Hopefully it will be viewed as such. I'd really like to sign this.

The vote is closed. With 2 Ayes, 2 Nays and 1 Abstaining, the bill has tied and the Vice President shall be tasked with deciding the fate of this bill.

After some reflection, I have decided to vote Aye. I do believe the bill needs to be amended, but it would have passed had all six Senators voted and there is interest in further work on this issue, even if it is a presidential redraft.

With the VP's decision, the bill has passed and now will be voted on in the House.
