Everyone but Feingold voted for the patriot act. But by October 2002, there was some resistance to the Iraq war. Not near enough and I was one of the people working to make Hillary pay for her pro-war vote in this last primary, but enough so that a majority of House Democrats, lead by the inestimable Dennis Kucinich, voted against the IWR, and so did a number of Senators. The ex-racist Robert Byrd was exemplary in fighting against the Iraq war and I think Kennedy thundered some too.
But yes, I was sickened by Daschle standing next to Lott while he chortled 'there is no opposition party'.
