The only reason I could think for it being voted against is because the Republicans didn't want to add this to an emergency spending bill, and would prefer it to be in a budget. If I remember I read about some opposition to a similar bill/amendment on the basis that there was no budgeted funding about it (it might even have been this). Otherwise I don't see how so many Republicans would oppose this. It'll be interesting to see what (if any) response KMA-628 gets.
