These are the Rep senators who voted for the even worse 2006 bill. They will go through the charade of vetting the Rep amendments and then vote for cloture and then the bill.

Robert Bennett, Sam Brownback, Norm Coleman, Susan Collins, Larry Craig, Pete Domenici, Lindsey Graham, Judd Gregg, Chuck Hagel, Richard Lugar, Mel Martinez, John McCain, Mitch McConnell, Lisa Murkowski, Gordon Smith, Olympia Snowe, Arlen Specter, Ted Stevens, George Voinovich, and John Warner.

Add to these Kyl, Isakson, Chambliss, and Lott who voted against the 2006 bill and you have the cabal that will make it a Rep majority in the Senate voting for the bill.

There really is no more I can do to sway my amigo Senator Lugar.

After he voted for cloture the last time around, I demanded his resignation.

It has not yet been received. *sigh*
