The White House asked Sensenbrenner to reduce the proposed violation to a misdemeanor, with a six-month jail term. But a vote to cut the penalty failed at the hands of law-and-order Republicans, as well as Democrats, who wanted to show that the GOP was being mean-spirited.

Hmmm, nowhere in the story does it say 191 DEMOCRATICS voted to make it a felony, while only 65 GOP members did. It was the DEMOCRATS who put the felony clause in, and it is the DEMOCRATS who are keeping it in.
