Maybe it's just that I don't want to understand. I want to like Harry Reid, I want to think he's a public servant first and foremost, but when he runs around saying "Joe Lieberman is with us on everything but the war," I have to ask -- who's this "we," kimosabe?
Glenn Greenwald has the rundown:
Bill to ban the CIA from using waterboarding:
- Democrats -- 45-1
- Republicans - 5-46
- Lieberman- NAY
Cloture vote on bill to restore habeas corpus (which Lieberman voted to abolish in 2006):
- Democrats - 50-0
- Republicans - 5-42
- Lieberman - NAY
Vote to strip retroactive amnesty for telecoms out of the FISA bill (h/t Matt Browner-Hamlin):
- Democrats -- 31-16
- Republicans - 0-48
- Lieberman - NAY
Vote to specify that FISA is the "exclusive means" by which the President can spy on telephone and email communications:
- Democrats -- 49-1
- Republicans - 9-40
- Lieberman - NAY
Confirmation of Michael Mukasey as Attorney General:
- Democrats -- 6-40
- Republicans - 47-0
- Lieberman - YEA
Cloture vote to proceed to consideration of No-Confidence Resolution for Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General:
- Democrats -- 47-0
- Republicans - 6-37
- Lieberman - NAY
