and Byrd's West Virginia is such a hotbed of progressive, liberal ideology.

When it comes to decisions regarding the actions of the US in relation to an illegal war, the Senator or Congressperson ought not to poll their constituants, but should make principled stands and tell their constituants why they voted as they did. This wasn't a vote for some sort of domestic issue that would be of primary importance to only the constituancy of one or another official - this was a life and death matter of national concern. No, they get no "pass" here.
