Senate Republicans block vote on Gonzales
The Democrats have a majority of 51 in the Senate, counting two independents who often vote with them — although on Monday, Democrat Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, did not. Democrats needed 60 votes to scale the procedural hurdle erected by Republicans, but got only 53, with 38 voting against.
You wrongly adentify Senator Joe Lieberman as a Democrat. Senator Lieberman is an Independent.
