Are the Kucinich defenders here going to support and defend Lieberman when he attempts to filibuster the HCR Bill in the Senate? Or will they at least say the bill should get a vote? Serious question. I'd like to hear what they have to say.

I personally think Kucinich was wrong to vote against the bill. Certainly, he has a right to. And I can appreciate a vote on principles. But with his vote against it, he was saying that millions of Americans who can't afford healthcare don't have a right to healthcare because it's not healthcare his way.

Given his vote, I wonder if he would have tried to filibuster it in the House if that was a valid procedure there. And I'm very curious as to what Kucinich's supporters say on this issue.
