Senate voting patterns, follow-up on the House vote to weaken the Endangered Species Act

Last week I put out a an article and pdf on the US House of Representatives Democrats and how they vote.

Well, since then, I've put out the Senate version of Most Republican Democrats. Also, in Friday's news, I noted that the House, with the help of defecting Democrats, was able to push through a bill which places new limitations on the Endangered Species Act. Luckily, it seems it's unlikely to get through the Senate. I promised to take a look at that vote, and yup, it's the same old Republican Democrats crew.

I'm also working on a web application to display info and analysis from the database. I got much of it written and working on Saturday, including the ability to analyze the voting records of individual members. I'm particularly interested in the votes in which people don't vote the party line. Those votes tell you where people stand. Whether it's Barbara Lee voting against Congress' continued support for military recruiters on College campuses:

Representative Lee, Barbara (D-CA 9th)
Democrat, CA 9th
Caucus: Progressive Caucus

Or whether it's Joe Lieberman's vote for Abu Gonzales:

Senator Lieberman (D-CT)
Democrat, CT

Well, that's enough of a taste for now.
