As a mere Englishman, I'm not quite sure what "table" means in this context. My guess is that it means "put it on the agenda", i.e. fix a time to discuss it later, but that doesn't look right here, because you are saying that the amendments were rejected.

One of the great conflicts between English and American. "Table" means to schedule for debate in British and to dump in American. Complicated by the fact that we do use the phrase to "put on the table" as you Brits do. DCF
