Senate Vote on Rice

[G_j]

Half-listening: I've counted about 6 no votes so far, at least more than I expected.

Frist's last diatribe.... :puke:
..those who dared to debate Rice's appointment "partisan" (code word for unAmerican in this case)..

[BlueEyedSon]

1. More like 8 or 10 i think

[G_j]

5. 13 NOs n/t

[katinmn]

8. If we hadn't spoken up, it would have been 3 or 4

Means we have to double our efforts against Gonzales.

[G_j]

11. I agree

and we must turn the heat WAY up on Gonzales!!

[katinmn]

20. Yes! Many national groups like MoveOn, UFP&J, and ACLU

have all been mass mailing people with facts, petitions and contact info.

We have a real chance to make a stronger stand against the torture guy. Don't confirmations require a 2/3 majority?

[G_j]

22. good question, I'm not sure

we must let Congress know we consider a vote for Gonzales to be a vote for torture, period!

[lancdem]

15. It's highly unusual for 13 no votes

for a Cabinet appointment. I think we need to keep that in mind. None of Clinton's got that many.

2. Frist is unAmerican.

Who are the no votes? I heard Reid is one of them. Feinstien?

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

10. How did Obama vote? n/t

[AllyCat]

14. Aye...what did we expect?

He's completely turned from the base that supported him. Him and Salazar are particularly irritating to me right now coming from former "home-states".

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

17. I expected some backbone

[Solly Mack]

3. Watching...

Harkin voted No...who else?

final tally

85/13 yea/nay

that's only 98...who punked out?

[G_j]

9. a few

Boxer, Kennedy, Lautenburgh, Kerry, Byrd

12. Who were the other 8? n/t
