Now if only one of the GOP senators had the nerve to castigate Kennedy for talking about water and drowning *on the Senate floor.* The place would erupt.
53 votes in favor? Not as many as I expected. Did every Republican support him? With Feinstein, Schumer, Nelson, Landrieu, and Carper that should be at least 54. How about Lieberman? I guess the roll call will be available shortly.
Lieberman was an aye. I don’t know who the 7 non votes were.
