Bingo. Hipster liberals are predictable. Tell them that a yes vote saves the whales, they'll vote yes. But if you tell them that voting to save the whales means they'll have to give up their iPhart X, they'll let the whales die. Same sort of dynamic is going on with that amendment, which explains how offshore drilling and indoor vaping ended up on the same line item.
