With all of the (deserved) flak that the US congress in general, and the senate in particular, has been receiving around these parts, I just wanted to give the Senate kudos for extending the federal hate crime law to GLBT individuals, and for attaching it to the Iraq spending bill, where it will be less likely to be vetoed.  Now let's see if it stays on the house version.  Good job for today, dems.

Roll call here
Dems voting against: none

Reps voting for: Coleman (MN), Collins (ME),  Gregg (NH), Smith (OR),  Snowe (ME), Specter (PA), Voinovich (OH), Warner (VA).
