In the Senate, only Boxer and Levin voted aye. All others voted no.

[Senior citizen]

Scary.

On edit: original post said only Boxer voted aye--edited as suggested to add Levin, who also voted aye.

[billkurtmeyer]

1. Everyone should write her a letter - applad her courage!

[pbartch]

13. LEVIN voted YES

[KaryninMiami]

2. Levin said Yes (I think)

[Salviati]

7. Yes, he did

[noamnety]

8. Yep, Levin - Aye!

If I heard that right, he just earn himself a campaign contribution from me if he runs again.

[Vidar]

17. I heard it too. Some decent speeches but only two stood for liberty.

[jackster]

3. hold off on that

i for instance didn't hear Kennedy's name mentioned in the NAY column - what's going on?

[LisaM]

4. Well didn't she win her seat by some huge margin?

I believe I recall hearing that she got the most decisive victory ever in the state of California.

[Freddie Stubbs]

5. They haven't all voted yet n/t

[elepet]

11. levin

aye?

[HEAVYHEART]

6. I don't believe this

:cry:

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. I do.

:-(

[eleny]

9. Her re-election purse will be bulging

She alone will get my $upport. The rest can open lemonade stands afaic.

[helderheid]

12. I agree

[jackster]

19. and I present

SENATOR BARBARA BOXER FROM THE GREAT STATE OF CALIFORNIA - THE NEW "LEADER OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY"

[Adelante]

10. Oh man

Feingold voted no.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

20. Byrd and Dodd too.

n/t

[incapsulated]

31. Well, fuck me.

I thought Dodd was standing.

[genius]

22. Feingold just lost the presidency.

[mzmolly]

14. Most who stood in support of her said they would NOT be officially

voting "I" ...

They supported the discussion but chose not to try and overturn the election.

Makes sense to me.

[bufftiger]

15. Can't you all see that the Dems spoke with unity for once?

You all need to realize that for many of us this ISNT about
de-certifying the electors but about electoral justice...don't diss
the people who had the guts to stand up

[pstans]

25. I totally agree.

I totally agree.

[info being]

28. So, essentially, this is about justice without the Justice.

The message was unifyingly incoherent in my book.

[bufftiger]

32. You mean framing it about Electoral process and not the Electoral result?

I think they did a brilliant job of framing the debate, while the Republicans just cite editorials and completely ignore a franchise that no "real" American can argue against?

[TornadoTN]

35. agreed

I agree, the GOP has framed this debate today as nothing more than "bad sportsmanship" and "sour grapes".

Justice without the justice. What did they have to lose by standing with Boxer? I would venture to say that the majority of their supporters would support their affirmative vote on this.

[glitch]

18. I will work to make Boxer our next President, should she choose to run.

The rest can go bite themselves.

[warbly]

21. Thank You Senator Boxer

no more appeasement. we must call these fascists out at every opportunity. shame on the rest of the senate democrats. three cheers for Barbara Boxer, the gutsy patriot from California!

[Botany]

23. Gutless

Boxer is class. I will never vote, work for, and or support anyone one of those
spineless shits.

I know what I saw. I live in Ohio.

:kick:


Conyers has tons of evidence in his report yet repugs and demos are ready to walk
away just to get along.

Might as well call that body "the reichstag" getting ready to give hitler all power
my country is dead.

[tx_dem41]

24. If you can, edit the subject to your post...it isn't fair to Levin. n/t

[Chimpanzee]

26. I will assess the vote tomorrow (when I'm sober) and

issue terse TELEGRAMS to my representatives if they dared not to vote for justice. I swear to God.

[incapsulated]

27. Reid: NO?

Is that what I heard?

[Miami Liberal]

29. It's not over just yet

[helderheid]

30. on Will Pitt's FYI

Boxer and Levin vote 'Aye'
Thursday 06 January 2005 @ 02:52
GOP Rep. Drier in the House says the people questioning the Ohio vote are aiding terrorists.

Typical.

[incapsulated]

33. That's IT?

Just Boxer and Levin are expected?

What happened to the others?

[imenja]

34. I'm amazed she voted to object

to tell you the truth. You've got to give her tremendous credit. Make sure you write to thank her.

[Borgnine]

36. Boxer and Levin are the only true Democrats in the Senate.

I salute them, while spitting on everyone else.

You just know that if this was somehow reversed and Kerry (yeah, right) stole the election, the Republicans would all stand in unity. Sigh.

[NightOwwl]

38. You are absolutely right.

Every single Senator should have voted Aye. It wouldn't have overturned the election, but it would have shown the American people the Democrats take seriously the necessity of election reform. The Democrats had a chance to take a stand on a HUGE issue, and they blew it.

[slay]

37. This is scary. Boxer did a GREAT thing today.

Wow. NOBODY stood with her? A sad day for the democratic party.

[kath]

39. Ummm, just now during the roll call, Levin voted NO.
