I didn't think you knew anything about it either.

Says here that the bill passed the Senate by unanimous consent, which is a little different than a 100-0 roll call. If it's clear that the votes are there to pass it, then leadership can let Senators avoid having to cast a politically unpopular vote against something that's going to happen. Kennedy doesn't need this protection, but others might appreciate it. It doesn't mean they support it, as you seem to believe.
