Feeling the Heat?

Lieberman voted against cloture on the renewal of the Patriot Act today. The vote was 69-30, with even Biden and Schumer voting in favor of cloture.

It's funny, I seem to remember Joe's opinion on filibusters being slightly different a few weeks ago.

I guess facing your first primary opponent in 36 years can do weird things to a politician.

Comments:
Lieberman voting against cloture don't make a darned difference anymore now that we have a viciously antiabortion antiwomen Supreme Court Justice sitting on the bench. Too late.
