Another reason I've always been proud to be a Democrat

This too, from the Seattle Times -

"By the thinnest possible margin, Senate Democrats yesterday blocked a bill that would have forced many class-action lawsuits out of plaintiff-friendly state courts and into federal courts that corporate defendants prefer.

Republicans fell one vote short of the 60 needed to compel the Senate to take up the class-action bill. The vote was 59-39 to break a Democratic filibuster. Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., both voted against debating the legislation."

One more time, the Senate Democrats block the bad guys. That's right, our side, even the ones who work in D.C., are the good guys.

(gratuitous Dean bash warning) You hear that, Governor?
