House passes noxious FISA bill; here's how Minnesota's delegation voted
June 23, 2008
The Democrats did not hold together in their opposition to the bill. All week long House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer has taken well-deserved hits for touting a "compromise" that gave the administration and the Republicans essentially everything they wanted. Glenn Greenwald wrote about Hoyer's miserable gambit earlier this week.
In the end, 105 Democrats voted for the bill, and 129 against.
In Minnesota's delegation, however, every Democrat except Collin Peterson remained steadfast in their opposition. Here's how the roll call broke down:
Bachmann Y
Ellison N
Kline Y
McCollum N
Oberstar N
Peterson Y
Ramstad Y
Walz N
