1844882, SENATE VOTES AGAINST RESTORING HABEAS CORPUS

It's a done deal. And this was NOT about the lack of dem spine. The only "dem" that I'm aware of who voted with the repukes to filibuster, was LIEberman.

Some repubs voted with the dems: Specter, Hagel, Sununu and Luger did.

Some moderate repubs proved what traitorous creeps they are: Collins, Warner and Snowe, to name three.


We need more Dem Senators. It's that simple.

Thanks to Senator Leahy who's been working his butt off on this for a long time. And thanks to Senator Dodd as well. Grudging thanks to Arlen Specter who co-sponsored, and to Luger et al for voting for the Constitution.

A special raspberry to that toad Lieberman, and to Susan Collins, who will hopefully be retired next year by the good people of the great state of Maine. (Go Allen!)

UPDATE: SNOWE CHANGED HER VOTE TO AYE.
