I know Joe Lieberman was one of the people to suggest it. I can't remember if he was on the commission now or not.
Hillary presented the resolution to the Senate...but the Senate needed 2/3 "yea" votes to pass a resolution to establish an independent commission...the vote was 54-44
I heard that Lieberman voted NO---I think because President Bush and Dennis Hastert and Bill Frist are having a bi-cameral, bi-partisan investigation...
OF course, that was BEFORE, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have both said that they won't LET the dems participate in a congressional investigation...
SO...we shall see..
