I can understand the Republicans (with three exceptions, amazingly enough) voting to further squelch expressions of political dissent, but for these thirteen Democrats to play to the worst impulses of voters makes me puke. I'll burn some extra flags in their names for emphasis.
Opposition party my crusty ass.

Who were the Republicans who voted against it?

These Republicans voted against it, which shows that at least a tiny, tiny number of GOPers actually believe in preserving the First Amendment.
Utah, eh? That's surprising. I'm surprised it wasn't McCain.
McCain's too hopped up on becoming president to do anything this principled.
Yeah... I guess so. You can't appear "too liberal" if you want to make the people love you.
McCain was traumatized in 2000 by the Bushit attacks on him in the primary. His recent trip to Jerry Falwell's Liberty University reveals either the completion of his brainwashing or his bitter cynicism mixed with endless ambition to become president. Either way, he's another pol who's become much different and much, much less than his popular image.
