The House just voted 280-142 on the amendment to give Bush a blank check for the now bipartisan war.
Democrats were 86-140 against it
Republicans were 194-2 in favor of it.
Roll call
The original 2002 Iraq war resolution passed by a 296-133 margin.
However, there were fewer Democrats, and
Democrats were 81-126 against it
Republicans were 215-6 for it
Sanders voted against it
Roll call
In other words, Democrats aren't any more against the war than in 2002. Pathetic, just pathetic.
