As noted here, the Feingold-Reid bill failed in the Senate this morning by a vote of 29-67. And I don’t know whether or not the son of Jim Webb, a U.S. Marine, is still serving in Iraq or how this bill would have affected his return home, but I cannot understand why it was opposed by the freshman senator from Virginia, among other Dems.
And one of those others is our own Bob Casey of PA, who, despite the benefit of the doubt I have tried to extend to him, is unfortunately becoming Lieberman-esque in his own special way (add this vote to this one).
