60-40 Senate Votes to Stomp out Freedom of Speech

[toenail]

In direct and wanton violation of their oaths of office, sixty U.S. Senators just voted to squash the First Amendment to the Constitution.

[goldstategop]

True enough. Let today be remembered as a national day of infamy.

[NittanyLion]

Who jumped the aisle for the GOP? Let me guess the first four: Spector, Chafee, Snowe, McCain.

[Lady Jag]

Let us have a moment of silence.

[linn37]

[AppyPappy]

Hopefully Bush will veto this travesty.

[rface]

is there a link or list of who voted what?

[Wphile]

Thompson, Fitzgerald, Lugar and Collins too. I don't have the other names yet.

[fuquadukie]

That's 4... who are the other 5?

Why would any Republican vote FOR this legislation?

[Rustynailww]

lead on brave republicans.

[Aggie Mama]

You know that it will be challenged immediately. The courts will never uphold this.

[Queen of Excelsior]

Does the President have any other options to stop this besides a veto? If he vetoes this the media will have a field day.

[NittanyLion]

Hopefully Bush will veto this travesty.

Care to put up some odds on that happening?

[goldstategop]

Your "Weak Sister" RINOs.

[dittomom]

Don't forget Domenici

[ksen]

[AppyPappy]

The media will have a field day anyway. Counting on the good graces of the media is always a loser.

[browardchad]

Add McCain, of course, if he bothered to show up for the vote.

[Satadru]

Fitzgerald is my bleeeeping Senator. I feel so bleeeeping proud of him.
