I cannot believe that Dr. Tom Coburn would have voted for such an obviously unconstitutional bill. If McCain was the lone “no” vote, then Coburn must have been absent. I hope Ensign was absent, too. As for Collins, Voinovich and Lindsey Graham, I wouldn’t be shocked if they actually voted for that ridiculous bill.
Lieberman and Hatch are the sponsors of the bill. Orrin felt that UT was cheated out of the 2000 Census. The RATS assured him that Utah will get an extra seat in the 2010 Census.
