In a vote along largely partisan lines, the Senate has passed a resolution that argues that binding and non-binding measures that relate to the Iraq war should no longer be argued. The measure, crafted by Joe Lieberman and himself, passed in a 50-48 vote, with 2 senators abstaining.

“I really didn’t understand the measure at all,” said Senator Norm Coleman (R-MN), “but Ted Kennedy said he was voting for it, so I voted against it.”

Senator John McCain solidified his maverick, outsider status by voting “I don’t know” on the measure.
