In fact, PA2 was enacted in 2006 when the Republicans still controlled Congress and a majority of Democrats in the House voted against it (66 Yea, 124 Nay). The Senate Democrats were not so opposed.
In both the House and the Senate, a majority of Democrats opposed the bi-partisan 2008 FISA amendments. (Senate Dems: 22 yea, 27 nay, House Dems: 105 yea, 128 nay)
In fact, if Pelsoi had maintained the House rules of her predecessor, it would never had passed, because it did not have the support of the "majority of the majority."
