Wow!
Who in the hell voted against it?
Heads up...
Thank you GLenn and CO.

Many could make the case that they have been harmed by ACORN and instead of focusing on a few minor criminal law cases we coud drain their resources by keeping them busy with constant civil cases.
If the liberals don’t want any kind of tort reform we can use their rules against them.
These are the Nays. Looks like my Senator Casey was involved. Can’t wait for those reelect ads.
Burris (D-IL)
Casey (D-PA)
Durbin (D-IL)
Gillibrand (D-NY)
Leahy (D-VT)
Sanders (I-VT)

Kick these guys butts outta office.
Wow, even Karl Lenin wasn’t arrogant enough to vote with these other jokers. He has nothing to fear from the MIaGOP, so don’t understand his yea vote.
