From the AP, August 1, 2009:
WASHINGTON – The National Rifle Association‘s threat to punish senators who vote for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor has been met with a shrug by Democrats from conservative-leaning states and some Republicans who are breaking with their party to support her. I applaud the following who are defying the NRA threat and voting for Judge Sotomayor:NRA A-plus-rated and NRA-endorsed Democratic Sen. Max Baucus, Montana
NRA A-rated Sen. Jon Tester, Montana
NRA A-rated and NRA-endorsed Sen. Lamar Alexander, Tennessee
Thank you, gentlemen, for doing what is right. (Now, if only you would put your guns away . . . . )
