A U.S. Senate panel on Wednesday moved quickly to pass the D.C. voting rights bill, setting up a critical vote before the full chamber about two years after the same legislation was narrowly rejected.

The Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, chaired by Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., voted 11-1 in favor of a plan to give the District its first voting member in the House of Representatives.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was the lone voice of opposition.

“I hate to rain on the parade, but I think it’s unconstitutional,” McCain said during a brief debate.
