Levin/McCain Roll Call Vote

The votes are for the 2012 war funding bill, with the Levin/McCain indefinite military detention provision, amended to give the White House discretion over US citizens.

Scrumptious, but the House side needs some formatting...

Al Schumann:

The amendment is stroke of genius, for sure. It's what we've come to expect from Sen. Carl Levin (D-Duckfucker). There he was in a situation where even the Pentagon loons thought he'd gone too far. But with his deft gift for compromise, he found a way to keep things on an even keel.
