(85,175 posts)40. And Alan Cranston of California. Yep. No surprise there.
I remember he could usually be counted on to vote the right way.
I also noticed Robert Packwood of Oregon - a Republican - was also on the list, too. Looks like he and Jim Jeffords of Vermont were the only R votes.
Back when at least some Republicans were reasonable.

Those 46 Democrats were insightful. Thomas is a shame to have been elected to the USSC.
