Republicans Doing Nothing, As Usual

 The vote on the nomination for Ohio's own Richard Cordray was held today, and, unfortunately, the do-nothing Republicans blocked the vote.

LA Times:

Republicans on Thursday blocked the Senate from voting on the nomination of Richard Cordray to be the first director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Supporters of Cordray's nomination came up seven votes short of the 60 needed to bring Cordray's nomination to the Senate floor for an up-or-down vote. The final tally was 53-45, with only one Republican, Scott Brown of Massachusetts, voting to cut off debate. Sen. Olympia Snow (R-Maine) voted present.....

....Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) said the vote showed that "more than 40 of my colleagues chose Wall Street special interests over Main Street consumers. They should be ashamed of themselves."

Which people voted to No on the Cordray nomination?
