On Wednesday, the Senate failed to override President Obama’s veto of legislation authorizing construction of the Keystone XL pipeline.

Sixty-two senators voted to authorize construction of the pipeline, five short of the 67 votes needed to override a presidential veto. Thirty-seven voted to sustain the veto.

There are actually people blaming "spineless Republicans" for Dem Senators voting to sustain Obama's veto of Keystone. I have no words…
