In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders Takes the Gloves Off, Goes After Biden: He's Got 'A Lot of Baggage,' Record is 'So We [View all]Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)What does that make Bernie?
Here's just a rundown of Biden enacted legislation Bernie supported:
Criminal History Background Checks Pilot Extension Act of 2008
PROTECT Our Children Act of 2008
Libyan Claims Resolution Act
Law Enforcement Congressional Badge of Bravery Act of 2008
William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008
Procedural Fairness for September 11 Victims Act of 2007
Recidivism Reduction and Second Chance Act of 2007
Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004
That's just the final four years Biden was in the Senate. I won't muddle things with the time Biden was in the Senate and Bernie was in the House - there are some significant laws Bernie supported of Biden's, too, like, well, the 1994 Crime Bill.
The only bills Biden supported of Sanders, even going back to Sanders' time in the House, were:
To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1 Marble Street in Fair Haven, Vermont, as the Matthew Lyon Post Office Building. (2006)
Granting the consent of Congress to the Vermont-New Hampshire Interstate Public Water Supply Compact. (1995)
Entitled the Taconic Mountains Protection Act of 1991. (1991)
Vermont Bicentennial Day. (1991)
Of course, those are the only laws Bernie was able to introduce that were actually passed while Biden was in the Senate.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
