Earlier this week I posted about the Senate passing legislation to prevent prisoners of the war on terror from pursuing habeas corpus writs against their detainment in American courts. What I failed to note is that both of North Dakota's Senators, Conrad and Dorgan, voted against the legislation.

In a state that overwhelmingly supported the Bush administration in the last election, and overwhelmingly supports the war on terror, it's hard to imagine that Conrad and Dorgan voted the way their constituents wanted them to on this issue.

It'd be nice if Conrad and Dorgan could put the interests of their constituents above the interests of the national Democrat party.
