Go here to read the bill and see the complete list of who voted how.

It is more than telling that no Democrat male or female,  and no female Republican supported Halliburton over a young woman who had been gang-raped by 7 men. Even Kay Bailey Hutchison, a Texan who throughout her career has done nothing but rubber stamp Bush and Cheney legislation for Halliburton stood up for common decency and voted in favor of justice.

Only six Republican men out of 36 had the decency to stand up for a young rape victim.

Senator Robert Foster Bennett Republican Utah must have remembered his own daughters (Julie, Wendy, Heather and Heidi) when he listened to Jamie Leigh Jone’s testimony as well as his faith in God.  He chose Jamie Leigh Jones over Halliburton

Collins Republican Maine

Grassley Iowa (I respect Senator Grassley for not stooping so low as to disregard a young woman who had been gang-raped, but because of his outright lies about death panels over a period of two week in August of 2009 in an effort to discredit health care reform, he does not deserve a place of honor. )

Kay Bailey Hutchison Texas
Once in a while Senator Hutchison gets things right (unlike John Cornyn, her counter part, who never does).  In this case, she stood on the side of common decency even if it meant voting against a Texas corporation.

Orrin Hatch Utah
I’ m guessing that his daughters and granddaughters  played a part in his choosing Jamie’s constitutional right to a real trial  over Halliburton’s kangaroo court.

Senator LeMieux Florida (at 40, he is the youngest member of the Senate)  He might have been thinking about his own three children when he listened to Jamie Leigh Jones testimony.

Richard Lugar Indiana -Senator Lugar has four sons.

Senator Lisa Murkowski Alaska - she has two children.

Senator Olympia Snowe Maine

Senator George Voinovich OHio has one surviving daughter named Betsy
