That Lynching Vote Again

My previous post about lynching is about to scroll off into the archives, but we had more movement on the issue yesterday when, a mere ten days after the lynching apology passed the Senate by a voice vote, Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona added his name to the list of cosponsors. That puts the number of cosponsors who joined original sponsor Mary Landrieu at 89. Only ten senators continue to refuse to officially attach their names to this anti-lynching resolution, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to keep that updated dishonor role visible for a while longer:

Lamar Alexander (R-TN)
Robert Bennett (R-UT)
Thad Cochran (R-MS)
John Cornyn (R-TX)
Michael Enzi (R-WY)
Judd Gregg (R-NH)
Trent Lott (R-MS)
Richard Shelby (R-AL)
John Sununu (R-NH)
Craig Thomas (R-WY)

I'll continue to update and cross names off if they see the light.
