in two amendments, one sponsored by Democrat Barbara Boxer, the other by Republican John Cornyn.
Russ Feingold was the only Senator voting against both amendments.
46 Republicans thought it was perfectly acceptable to attack veterans like Max Cleland and John Kerry, but outrageous to attack the credibility of General Petraeus.
22 Democrats and Independent Joe Lieberman felt it was reprehensible to ever criticize members of the military.
Joe Biden and Maria Cantwell didn't vote on either measure.
(For comparison, only 5 Senators were willing to go on the record censuring the President for violating the law by spying on Americans without a warrant.)
