Good morning, midnight
The vote for the Schiavo bill of attainder 202 for, with 42 Dems voting, shamefully, in favor.
A quorum was 218 (back). The CNN headline says "Motion to suspend the rules and pass." WTF?
How fitting the Republicans shitcan the Constitution, under a motion to suspend the rules, in the darkest hour of the night.
How shameful that any Dem would help them do it.
