FTFY

Patriot Act: good example. In the midst of war - while ground zero was still burning - which party more supported removing our civil liberties?

2001 House Vote:
Republican Yes: 211 No: 3
Democratic Yes: 145 No: 62
Independent: Yes: 1 1

Looks like the Republicans supported the Patriot Act noticeably more than the Democrats in the House.

2001 Senate Vote:
Republican Yes 49 No 0
Democratic Yes 49 No 1 Not voting 1

Now: what parties tend to support, and which tend to oppose, voting rights? Glass-Steagall? abortion rights? unionization rights? worker rights?
