That’s what Sullivan has dubbed the following senators for voting against John McCain’s anti-torture amendments:
Allard (R-CO)
Bond (R-MO)
Coburn (R-OK)
Cochran (R-MS)
Cornyn (R-TX)
Inhofe (R-OK)
Roberts (R-KS)
Sessions (R-AL)
Stevens (R-AK)
The good news: McCain’s amendments passed in a crushing 90-9 vote. That means it’s veto-proof, and Bush has vowed to veto. Bear in mind, Bush rarely uses his veto, but he’ll do it to thwart the anti-torture measure.
The Senate vote is a triumph for American democracy, but the triumph is provisional — the House has yet to weigh in. Call and e-mail your representatives.
