Only ten Democrats supported filibuster on telecom immunity/domestic spying bill


Now there's a profile in courage you don't get every day. Ten folks. Ten. A pathetic ten supported trying to stop this travesty of justice.

These are the only good guys, out of the entire 100-person Senate. You can see the rest of the vote count here, and read more about this from Reuters.

Boxer (D-CA)
Brown (D-OH)
Cantwell (D-WA)
Cardin (D-MD)
Dodd (D-CT)
Feingold (D-WI)
Harkin (D-IA)
Kerry (D-MA)
Menendez (D-NJ)
Wyden (D-OR)

There are a few other opportunities to filibuster, but it's clear that few if any Democrats have the backbone to do it. Very sad.
