If you have something about the vote of your Senators that you would like to discuss, you can find individual Senate office numbers here.
YAYS -- 56
NAYS -- 43
Move to reconsider and note the absence of a quorum. Reid switched his vote to no at the end for procedural reasons -- to keep the amendment tabled until they can bring it up again at some later point. So we're still working the vote gang...keep those phones ringing, please.
UPDATE: Official vote tally here.

Arg!
Is Johnson voting again?
Did I hear Byrd vote no?????
That must have been Burr
Hello Christy…
Sununu aye
Warner hurt.
All three cable news networks are giving time to OJ right now. So much for fundamental liberty.
Can someone who’s better at math than me keep a running tally of the numbers?
where *is* everybody? Guess ya can’t ask important people like U.S. Senators to get off their butts too quickly - no matter how important the vote…
Dems seem united so far…
Looking pretty straight party-line…
Hagel - aye
Coleman–nay. That weasel…
Frank Probst @ 8
restore-habeas.org
Nelson Nebraska-No. F*cker
twȝk @ 11
Christy is faster tho!
Johnson is back—aye.
Byrd —aye
Craig-No
Luger aye
Heh. Lugar-Aye
Gregg - no
(I shoulda called that SOB and told him I know where his house in Florida is)
Lugar - aye!!!!
just kidding about the Gregg thing - not a threat there, NSA guys…
Lugar - aye
Smith - aye!
Clinton, Byrd, Brown, Smith - Aye
Smith-Aye
Craig votes no? That SOB.
My moratorium on Craig bashing is OVER.
Craig NO??? WTF. What he has to lose. . .
You know, this is one of those times where I think Harry Reid should just let them filibuster for a while. I continue to think that the threat of a filibuster is a bluff that needs to be called far more often than it ever is. If the Republicans want to rattle on for the rest of the week about how we need to jettison centuries-old civil rights, I say let them.
JoeLie screws us again
bg @ 24
They should detain him in the Minneapolis airport until his court date.
bg @ 24
Some pervish repug welfare gig.
Lieberman No. No surprise there. Fucker.
Frank Probst @ 25
yeah, anyway!
Ha Pryor-Aye
Lieberman-No big surprise. no
Lie-berman: nay. Yuk.
Biodun @ 10
Are you gonna call his MN office and tell his people what a weasel/treasonous bastard they work for? Please say ‘yes’
Voinovich - NO
jayt @ 26
Shocked! Shocked, I tell you! I’ll be over at the nickel-slots if you need me.
Frank Probst @ 25

I agree. If this one goes south, DEFINITELY make them filibuster the Webb Amendment.
Webb slams McCain on his opposition to his Pro Troop amendment
http://thinkprogress.org/2007/.....amendment/
Biodun @ 10
Would you have expected anything else?
mui @ 12
I thought I heard aye.
jayt @ 26
He thinks all that equivocating keeps constituents at bay.
Salzar-Aye. Good.
Salazar - aye
Voinovich NO
newtonusr @ 39
I thought that Florida Nelson.
Thanks all for the running tally. I’m at work without access except for you all! :)
I just called Harry Reid’s office and said I vote for FILIBUSTER on Webb and habeas corpus. Let the Republicans tell us why we can’t have our Constitution and why our soldiers are held hostage in Iraq by Republicans.
Murkowski - NO
Snowe drumrolls . . . No. OK No relection for her.
mui @ 43
Pretty sure, but it wouldn’t surprise me to be wrong on Ben.
Snowe - NO
Snowe - waiting…waiting…no
bee-yotch
This one ain’t gonna make it, me-thinks.
Collins - no
Snowe and Collins both No
Snowe no, bummer- she was counted as a Yes
OT but Pope Refused to Meet with Condi Last Month Vatican says…
musicsleuth @ 49
she’s doomed
Tom Allen just got another arrow for his quiver against Collins.
I see Craig from Idaho does not believe in Habeas. Kind of interesting, given his current situation.
can one of the sponsors still vote no to keep this thing alive?
Collins on no - she needs Goopers. They’re all she has left.
It struck me a moment ago, just the fact we are voting on Habeas Corpus is startling, if anyone had told us in 1999 we would ever see this day, we would all have laughed.
Can the Bush legacy get any worse?
Stupid question, the bottom has already fallen out, how far they are willing to keep falling is anyone’s guess.
Snowe just changed her vote to Aye
Collins -No She must really not want to keep her seat.
Ms Snowe is now an aye?
dakine01 @ 59
Seriously????
newtonusr @ 48
restore-habeas has him marked as yes
Clearly another filibuster upheld. Another defeat for our Constitution!
Why did Snowe vote no and then change to aye?
HA Snowe-Aye?
musicsleuth @ 34
The Republicans are going to have to put up the fight of fights in Ohio for Voinvovich’s seat in 2008. The only way they can win in Ohio is if they pull off another election coup by cheating again.
Voinovich has had many opportunities to stand firm against the Bush administration (I do not believe they reflect Voinovich’s beliefs) BUT HE HAS NOT. Thousands of lives have been lost due to the inability of our Reps to stand up to this warmongering regime.
56-43 motion not agreed to
I think Move-On should do a big ad for tomorrow letting people know just who voted against restoratino of Habeas Corpus, with a good fat juicy headline like: These people voted to strip your right of Habeas Corpus and list all the no votes in big type.
twȝk @ 63
I hope so.
Yeas 56
Nays 43
dakine01 @ 51
the list gets ever longer…
Why can’t our side do a better job of leveraging keywords / buzzwords? We should have called this something like:
“American Patriotism Defense Act” or “Supporting American Freedom Act”
Remember “No Child Left Behind”? “Clear Skies Act”? And the absolute most horrific “Patriot Act”?
The GOP knows how to twist public sentiment through the use of keywords.. we need to start playing the game of politics just as hard.
Frank Probst @ 26
Seems like a good plan, doesn’t it?
I think they like to say “we don’t have the votes” as political cover, so they can carry on the business of selling out the country.
Johnathan Ivan @ 72
Because we’re better than that???
That f***ker Craig- the kewl kids ignored him yesterday, so he had to vote with them to try to get them to talk to him again.
Go find a bathroom, Larry. The least you could have done was NOT SHOWN UP if you were going to do this.
Go tap your toes somewhere.
Biodun @ 70
Reid moved to reconsider, they’re voting again.
Snowe just changed her vote after she knew it was defeated anyway. There is a word for that……
DefendOurConstitution @ 64
She’s vulnerable, and probably had to wait for the ok from Mitch to change her vote when it became clear it was safe to do so.
kdh22 @ 74
But Johnathan Ivan’s proposed names have the benefit of being true. Bush’s are misleading at best.
Toby Wollin @ 68
Wonder if they will push it with and add “These Reps betrayed Habeas Corpus”
Paddy @ 77
coward?
Frank Probst @ 25
The Dems just gave the R’s their last chance at public redemption, and the R’s apparently don’t consider their seats as impoortant as their backroom connections.
If they won’t take the opportunity to redeem themselves, then we need to redouble our efforst to go after those “marginal” R’s, I just don’t believe it anymore.
This isn’t a fence they are sitting on, it is the Constitution.
anwaya @ 76
56/43 sounds awfully familiar, like that was the split on some other bill of import? Anybody know?
Joe-Lie–nay. No surprise…
Kathleen
I’ve lived in Ohio for years now, and
I can’t think of the last time I felt well-represented by Voinovich. He has gone along with every crap GOP plundering plan they come up with.
He cries pretty for the teevee but that just isn’t enough.
Kathleen @ 80
Part of the copy needs to explain what Habeas Corpus actually DOES for us. I think 99% of the people in this country do not understand what it means at all.
Kathleen @ 80
they have Betrayed US!
Elliott @ 81
politician
Republicans have just voted not to cut off debate on Habeas Corpus. I say the time has come to extend the hand of bipartisanship and take them up on this.
Let’s debate habeas corpus for three more hours, and vote on cloture again.
Let’s debate it again tomorrow, all day long, and vote on cloture again.
If they want to keep debating this, Reid ought to graciously allow them to do it, all day and all night. The GOP knows that they are on the wrong side of this, and the more time spent debating it, the worse they will look. Make them keep talking and digging their political holes even deeper.
Paddy @ 77
Shell voting. LIeberman used to be a master at that before he came out as full Reputhuglican.
Peterr @ 89
I like that idea!
Sad day. When does this stuff make it to the Supremes? Presumably they will overturn it once there is a Democrat in the White House. Can’t have the party of the FFH’s arresting people without charges, you know.
jayt @ 78
SLEAZY..THIS WILL NOT WORK FOR HER.
It does not bode well for Webb after this. My prediction: Webb cloture fails 59-40.
Here’s a good catch=phraze for our next crop of lawmakers.
“Take the politics out of politics!”
Non Partisan movement, anyone?
DefendOurConstitution @ 94
I hope you’re wrong, but….
newtonusr @ 57
Plus her best buddy HoJoe is helping her with fundraising & selling her soul to the likes of . . .?
Peterr @ 89:
Agreed. Interesting to see what develops from here on end…
This might be the beginning of the End Game for this administration.
Kathleen @ 93
shows she’s a woman of no principles.
DefendOurConstitution @ 94
Who knows, they may be perfectly willing to vote against “liberal concepts” like habeas corpus but they might just be willing to “support the troops.”
Or am I being Pollyanna once again?
Webb Amendment coming up…
jayt @ 78
Snowe is the safe one. Collins is the one in a world of hurt which makes Snowe’s vote all the more puzzling.
Toby Wollin @ 99
Paramount lesson I learned recently:
All women are not good women. Collins: case in point.
That was quick, what happened to the filibuster?
McCain wants to link the Warner Amendment to the Webb Amendment.
Sleazy…
McCain/Warner? What a sleazy move.
Is there a back door here? If the house put this language in its bill, (assuming the Senate failed) couldn’t it be put back in conference so that it would be an up or down vote in reconciled version?
Just looking for a plan B….
McCain wants time agreement on debate.
Sleazy…
So Senator Craig voted nay despite his legal troubles. You might think his own experience might make him a little more sensitive to the need for legal protections but then he is a Republican so coherence and consistency don’t mean that much.
I think I got all the registered votes and the one change from Snowe at the last minute. Did I miss anyone?
A 60 vote on the amendments coming up…
just called to thank my Indiana Senators and to re-affirm my position in favor of the Webb Amendment.
Now to call Reid and urge an actual filibuster on the Webb Amendment if necessary…
Biodun @ 105
What’s the Warner amendment?
It amazes me that the gubmint-hating party of St Ronnie want to give so much power to the … government … (and decimate the constitution they are sworn to protect and defend contemporaneously)… I guess it must be something in the water they serve at the cocktail parties they all go to with the K-Street boyz and grrlz, because I can’t figure out another reason except maybe they don’t want to admit THEY WERE FUCKING WRONG THEN (2006) AND STILL ARE. (sorry for shouting)
Surprize to no one, Lieberfuck voted with the republicanz. I wonder if there is any buyers remorse in CT yet?
Christy Hardin Smith @ 110
looks good to me,
thanks Christy!
Knut Wicksell @ 92
You presume much, my friend! I have no faith, whatsoever, in this Court. If they do overturn it, I would wager it will be by a 5-4 decision.
edit I meant overturn vice uphold, but I guess it is the same, either way.
How can there be an absense of a quorum if there were just 99 people casting votes?
Christy Hardin Smith @ 110
Christy what happens now. What should we do?
Hugh @ 109
Except that he seems to not understand that there is a bus undercarriage with his name on it.
Christy Hardin Smith @ 110
You don’t have votes up for Alexander or Chambliss. I think both voted nay.
Hugh @ 109
Craig(R- Not gay) the hypocrite is hopeful that if he votes with the R’s they (and MN voters) will overlook his bathroom behavior.
mui — They will likely try and bring it up again at some point. They are moving on to the Webb amendment while they look at possible strategy on this, as I understand it. So we keep pushing and, in the meantime, keep making calls on the Webb Amendment as well.
Biodun @ 108
McCain lied big time on Meet the Press this past Sunday.

Click Senators square off on Iraq
As admirable as the Webb amendment is, it will do nothing to slow down the war. Gates already said that it just means that more reserves will be going to Iraq. A very nicely worded veiled threat.
Peterr — I just went back over my TIVO of the votes, and I didn’t have a vote registered out loud for either man. They may have voted and it just wasn’t announced. If anyone can find a link to the Senate votes that is official for them — or others
