Not to defend anyone but -
It had 54 votes for and 46 against - even with the 5 democrats it would have been 59 to 41 and not passed the filibuster. The Democrats who voted against it were from Alaska, Montana, North Dakota and Arkansas - if the thing isn't going to pass - they aren't going to vote for it and take the political hit for no reason.
