Like a lot of you, I'm pretty pissed off at the Democratic Senators who voted to end debate on the Alito nomination. In my mind, there's no way the 60 vote threshold should have been reached, let alone 72. The Republicans had the onus on them to get 60 votes. We were in the strong position and we completely blew it. Anyway, if you're like me you want to remember exactly who capitulated today - that is, write down the names and remember them ...when they come asking for money ... when they come asking for volunteers. I'm guessing Kossacks can have a very long memory. Anyway, I've been looking for the list of who voted for/against cloture, and I found it
Here. I'll post it below:
Roll Call of the Cloture Vote
The Associated Press tallied the 72-25 vote:
On this vote, a "yes" vote was a vote to end the debate and a "no" vote was a vote to filibuster the nomination.
Voting "yes" were 19 Democrats and 53 Republicans.
Voting "no" were 24 Democrats and one independent.
