[link\|http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=2&vote=00189\|The Vote]. It was 66 in favor, 34 opposed. It failed by 1 vote. There are some surprising votes. Why on Earth did Reid (Senate minority leader) and Feinstein (both Democrats) vote for it? Why did Bennett and McConnell (both Republicans) vote against it? The good guys and gals won. So far, it's not looking like the right-wing Republicans are going to have much to run on this Fall. Cheers, Scott.

She's been a real big supporter of DRM and domestic spying. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Most of the people for this have to know it's utterly empty of value, but they also know it will make for good campaign ads to smear people who voted against. Jay

And I'm starting to think that BeeP is right: The Democrats are a spineless bunch of Wimplodyte fucktards. jb4 "So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing. I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't." — Stephen Colbert, at the White House Correspondent's Dinner 29Apr06
