The Dems did something good today, while the GOP did their usual, voted against allowing a vote to re-establish habeas corpus.From HERE:

The roll call is online, but I'd highlight a couple of things. First, every Democrat in the Senate supported restoring habeas, including conservative Dems from red states who are up for re-election. There is a patriotic party that's still willing to stand up for American principles; it's called the Democratic Party.

Second, six Senate Republicans had the decency to break party ranks on the issue: Sens. Snowe (Maine), Sununu (N.H.), Specter (Pa.), Hagel (Neb.), Lugar (Ind.), and Smith (Ore.).

Keep in mind, this was just the vote to allow a vote. It's one thing for conservatives to oppose habeas corpus, but these guys wouldn't even allow an up-or-down vote on a basic principle of Western Civilization.
