Results of the Senate vote:
Aye: 49
Nay: 48

GOP spin:
"We're building votes," said Sen. David Vitter, R-La., who is among supporters of the ban who were not in the Senate when the amendment was last voted on in 2004. "That's often what's required over several years to get there, particularly to a two-thirds vote."

Reality:
There were 48 "aye" votes for such an amendment in 2004, but there were also fewer Republicans in the Senate. So this actually represents a decline in momentum for this ridiculous charade, even within the GOP ranks.
