Maria Cantwell, the junior senator from Washington State came on strong on this issue.
A few years ago I had my doubts about her. She voted in favor of giving Bush war powers prior to his invasion of Iraq when our senior senator, Patty Murray, voted against it (and gave a good, impassioned speech to the Senate as to why she was voting against it). But it seems that Maria has grown a spine within that last few years.
