Corporate Democrats Defeat the Durbin Amendment

Yes, this is Senator Tom Harkin. Here I agree with him:




Here is a blog post on this

Senator Durbin: thank you. To you spineless Democrats:

No Republican members voted for the amendment. The Democrat no votes include Senators Max Baucus (D-MT), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Robert Byrd (D-WV), Tom Carper (D-DE), Byron Dorgan (D-ND), Tim Johnson (D-SD), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), Ben Nelson (D-NE), Mark Pryor (D-AR), Arlen Specter (D-PA) & John Tester (D-MT).


Shame on you; I know that you represent the big banks.

This is why I don't contribute to the DSCC or the DCCC; I don't want to support such Democrats. Note: the vote on this amendment was subject to the usual "cloture" rules; that is why 45 "nay" votes were enough to kill it.
