Bad Call: Davis Votes to Extend Patriot Act
February 25th, 2010
Danny Davis voted with the majority of Congress on Thursday to extend the Patriot Act by another year, breaking with his two prior votes against the Act and violating his IVI-IPI survey response claiming that he supported repealing the law. The extension, which was part of the Medicare Physician Payment Reform Act, passed the House with a vote of 315 to 97 and will now go to be signed by President Obama (who has worked behind the scenes in support of it).
All told, this is yet another blow to Davis’ so-called “progressive” record and another indication that what he found unacceptable during the Bush years is suddenly very acceptable to him now.
