4. It's procedural.
I think in order to bring it up again (or something along those lines), he's gotta vote no.

7. Its a very common maneuver. By voting NO, it gives him the right..
to reconsider the bill at any time in the future.

9. It is a Senate ploy...so that
he call call the vote again.

He indeed votes yes but changed it once he new he did not have the votes. This way he can call for the vote again.
