In Passing

The list


New additions[1]:

Lamar Alexander, R-Tennessee
Kit Bond, R-Missouri
Thad Cochran, R-Mississippi
Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska
Richard Shelby, R-Alabama
Roger Wicker, R-Mississippi

Repeat performances - double plus ungood:
Olympia Snowe, R-Maine
Arlen Specter, R-Pennsylvania

Don’t forget:
Susan Collins, R-Maine


UPDATE 090311 16:42:
As expected, the bill kills the Washington D.C. school choice pilot program. Voting to kill the program (i.e., voting against an amendment to remove the provision):
Mike Crapo, R-Idaho
Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska (that’s two...)
Olympia Snowe, R-Maine
Arlen Specter, R-Pennsylvania

Snowe and Specter are now 3 for 3.

1 Talk about role reversal! Sen. Kit Bond (Rino-MO) voted FOR "Porkulus 2" while Sen. Claire McCaskill (Dem-MO) voted against it! Both voted for Porkulus 1 but I think McCaskill heard the word from her constituents.  Bond did too, but his constituents are the UAW and other unions.
