Fifty-five Senators voted to have a full discussion and debate on a bill to give public safety officers collective bargaining rights.

But under the current Senate rules, a majority just isn’t enough. That majority vote couldn’t overcome the 40 Republicans and three Democrats who killed the bill by not allowing it to be debated by the full Senate.
