House roll call on anti-Goldstone Report resolution

Here's the roll call from the House yesterday on the resolution condemning the Goldstone Report (on the Gaza War, or whatever we should be calling it, from Dec/Jan).

344 Yes, 36 No, 22 present, 22 not voting. The resolution had plenty that was factually questionable; Ron Kampeas reviewed the back-and-forth between Goldstone and Reps Berman, Ros-Lehtinen and Ackerman. They did change the resolution somewhat, but left a resolution that was still awful, of course.

The roll call is sad; it's mostly just the usual progressives (and hardly all of them) who voted no, though a few random non-progressives at least voted present or didn't show. The most interesting thing is that Gary Ackerman (chair of the Middle East and South Asia subcommittee in the Foreign Affairs committee) ended up not voting.

Some of the disappointing yes votes include Danny Davis, Barney Frank, Jay Inslee, John Lewis, Ed Markey, Brad Miller, Gwen Moore, Jerry Nadler, Jared Polis, Jan Schakowsky, Jose Serrano and Henry Waxman. If I'm not mistaken all of these folks are quite comfortable in their seats.
