There were just two bills schedule for floor action yesterday, both under suspension of the rules, meaning they were thought to be non-controversial enough to pass with the required 2/3 majority. Neither one made it. The USA PATRIOT Act renewal went down, seven votes short. And the Trade Adjustment Assistance extension bill never even made it to the floor, pulled by the Republican leadership as they realized they didn't have the votes for that one, either.
