Many in the Senate did not even what they were voting on.
The Senate's Daylight Saving Time Move Shocked Senators (buzzfeednews.com)
The Senate’s unanimous passage of a bill to
make daylight saving time permanent stunned many Americans, not least of which the senators themselves.
Other senators, it seems, were not told by their staff that the request was happening.
Coons is one of them. He said that he and some other senators reacted to the news by asking Rubio if they’d given everyone a heads up, and were told yes.
“It’s literally an issue my staff and I had never discussed, and they made an assumption that I don’t really care about daylight saving time,” Coons said. “And I don’t know if I do! I’ve never taken five minutes to stop and think about it.”
