Alberto Gonzales has been confirmed and sworn in as the nation's first Hispanic Attorney General. He achieved this with the support of 60 Senators, only six of which Democrats. To the delight of many Republicans, the Democrats stuck to their "be kind to terrorists" strategy.
Of the five red-state Democrats running for re-election in 2006, two voted "yes" (Ben Nelson (NE) and Bill Nelson (FL)); two voted "no" (Bingaman (NM) and Byrd (WV/KKK)); and one did not vote (Conrad (NV)). The remaining thirteen Democrat Senators who are up for re-election in blue states all voted "no." Notably, Joseph Lieberman (CT) voted "yes," thereby inching closer to exile in the Zell Miller annex of the Democrat caucus.
