Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson joined a bipartisan effort on Wednesday to block the administration from trying the Sept. 11th suspects in civilian courts.
Nelson (Neb.) signed onto legislation offered by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Jim Webb (D-Va.) to require military commission trials for those suspects. Nelson made the announcement in a conference call with reporters, primarily citing the costs of security for the trials.

Nelson is trying to save his sizzling bacon. I think he is toast, however.
You got that right...Bacon - Toast...BLT...MMMMMMMMMMMMM
Nelson will move to the right until he faces reelection. If he wins, he’ll just move back to the left again.
Remember a few weeks ago when Nelson went to a restaurant and the folks there booed him and he ran fearing for his life?
I’d bet the farm that attitude towards him continues.
Also I’d like to see a lot more of these libs get the same treatment.
Also HospiceNurse,
You guys are simply Angels.
Thank so much for the work you do.
he jumnped the shark,the shark had a net.
That’s definitely the “MO” of these cretins, including one John McCain in AZ-it’d be great to lose these two in November?
Nelson isn’t up for re-election until 2012. He’s probably moving right so he can leave his house.
I think Nelson may have had a chance until his deal with Obama. He’s cooked and he knows it. He doesn’t want to have to go back and work for a living.
Go back to work?
He has a pension the rest of us would kill for.
Why would he stick around to get beat down?
Webb got the message that he does indeed, work, for the citizens of Virginia and not the DNC.
Yes indeed
Lets see how he votes when the Democrats need all their votes.
Nelson has become a born again Conservative since the election of Scott Brown to the Senate. He has the fear of God again.
