Editor's Note:  The House is not in session this week.   Good, that should give the gang of 12 more time to come to the same conclusion that the rest of the country made when they were formed, that they incapable of reaching an intelligent plan to reduce deficit spending by an ineffective amount over 10 freaking years.
Recent Senate Votes:
Vote Passed (69-30, 1 Not Voting)
The Senate passed this minibus bill making appropriations for the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Justice, Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development.  The bill provides the five departments with $128 billion in discretionary funds for the 2012 fiscal year, which began on October 1, 2011.  House and Senate conferees have begun meeting to work out a compromise bill.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted   NO
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted   NO
Both trying to show a stand for Georgia farmers.
Motion to Proceed; Rebuild America Jobs Act
http://capwiz.com/congressorg/issues/votes/?votenum=195&chamber=S&congress=1121
Vote Rejected (51-49) 
The Senate fell short of the 60 vote threshold needed to move forward on this part of the presidents jobs bill that would have provided $60 billion for transportation projects and created a national infrastructure bank.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted NO
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted NO
Party line vote, what should be embarassing is that the Democrat Senators voted to close discussion on what EVERYBODY knows is a worthless bullshit candidacy play by the President.

Motion to Proceed; Long-Term Surface Transportation Extension Act of 2011
http://capwiz.com/congressorg/issues/votes/?votenum=196&chamber=S&congress=1121
Vote Rejected (47-53)
The Senate also fell short of the 60 votes needed to move forward on the Republican alternative that would have reauthorized highway programs for two years and overhauled certain regulations.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss voted YES
Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YESBasically a subset of the previous, one that all agree on value of but killed by folks that are saddled with passing the bigger load of crap.

Upcoming Votes:
Government Contractor Withholding Repeal Act - H.R.674
The Senate is scheduled to take up this House bill to repeal a 3 percent withholding requirement on government contractor payments.

Fiscal 2012 Appropriations - H.R.2354
The Senate is also scheduled to begin work on this bill combining the 2012 Energy-Water, Financial Services, and State-Foreign Operations appropriations bills.

Net neutrality disapproval - S.J.Res.6
This Senate resolution would disapprove of the Federal Communications Commissions "net neutrality" regulations adopted in December 2010.
Smells like an attempt to back up liberal censureship.
