    From another article covering it:

    “Womack was restricted by House rules from revealing which party blocked Burchett’s unanimous consent request — but the Tennessee lawmaker, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), and others insisted Democrats stood in the way.”

    So in Johnson’s opinion, Democrats blocked the attempt to unanimously approve the release. When they are attempting an official vote that just needs majority later this week.

    Yeah man, you can keep huffing that hopium as much as you like.

        We don’t know who voted no. It had to be unanimous, and for whatever reason this kind of of vote doesn’t show the dissenters. According to one Republican, it was the Democrats. Luckily all politicians are trustworthy, so that is definitely what happened.

          and for whatever reason this kind of of vote doesn’t show the dissenters.

          Which is exactly why both parties suck so much. Neither one of them want to fix that little secretive problem
